Boneyard of take-off parts.

Post by Daren Woodall » Sat Dec 14, 2002 7:44 pm

Like many of you, I've aquired a fair amount of used take-off parts cluttering up my garage, including Mac headers and H-Pipe, low milage stock heads cam and so on.

Have you guys had luck selling off your extra parts? How about the heads, is there a market for them? I've considered talking to a local shop and having the stock heads ported and prep'd and reselling at a nominal amount above the parts and labor costs. Is this a good I idea?

Any suggestions are welcome.

well--- i have had fare luck at selling my old parts and as for the heads leaving them stock will only net you about 50-75 dollars and if you port them you'll get about 300 thats what i got for mine but i did all the port work,milled them down and did the valves at work if you paid a shop to do this stuff for you it would cost you that 300,so i would leave them alone and sell them, unless you have the resources to do it all yourself.

Ebay is a good choice for some of the parts, some guys will pay more for parts on Ebay then if they went to the parts store and bought it themselves. I sold a used Accel supercoil for $45, my 19lb injectors for $50, and my K&N filter for $50. Take a look, it will get your stuff out in front of a lot of people in a hurry, and you'll net a lot more than the classifieds could provide. Later
