Default Keep or Sell old parts

What do you guys do with engines/transmission that you dont reuse? Keep for the next guy or sell them? This 72 I got came with all of its parts but most of them I am hoping will be good enough to turn in for core charges.

If it's matching number stuff, KEEP it - if not it's cores.
That simple.

Yup - Keep the original stuff; one day you will be glad you did. A couple of years ago I gave away a nice 4 bolt main 350 block to someone who really appreciated it. Pass it on if you can...
