After the 5.0L swap on my truck I'm left with a couple of 4.0Ls and transmissions sitting around.
Initially I thought I'd hold onto them for a future project, but I've already got too many of those and realistically I would use these for something anyway. If they stick around here they are going to end up sitting outside and useless. I've thought about putting them up on FBMP, but don't want to deal with people on there. Wouldn't know what to ask for them anyway.
They are usable engines. One and the transmission was in my truck running when I started the swap. The other I believe had a bad head gasket, but never overheated so heads and block are probably good. I don't really want to throw them in the scrap metal pile.
What to do with them, is there a way to turn in as rebuild able cores or something? I know auto parts stores will buy old batteries as cores without selling one, but don't know if anyone does something like that for engines and transmissions.
