Default sell them or keep them??

Ok my post was 390 turned 428 PI. Now that I am in the build, what do you guys think I should do with the iron I don't need, along with some hard to find parts?? Like the S code intake tipping in at about 80 lbs, or the cast iron heads cast one day apart from their codes that I had cleaned and magged to make sure they were worth keeping?? or the orginal 67 t bird hi-po exhaust manifolds and the carb/original snorkel air cleaner? What about the big c-6 auto? give me some thoughts guys, thought about packing them for the future? Should I sell them now for a buck to fund the edelbrock alum heads/intake, demon carb etc? any thoughts on their worth?Ford book said some of the parts are hard to find and can be purchased at a "considerable cost", how many us dollars in "considerable cost"? Was thinking of ebay or a t-bird site to sell these parts.

My opinion, if you dont think you'll ever need to use 'em again, sell. They'll just sit around takin up space, I know anytime I can come up with some extra cash for mods, I try to take it. Also, if your not usin them, you may just make someones day by sellin it to them..

if you dont urgently need the money keep them I usually find 6 -12 months after I sell something like that I want it even if it sat in the shed for 10 years

well im to much of a pack rat as it is with car parts an im only 18 so i would keep them just in case... you never know when you might need parts

but on the other hand i might sell it too just cause as grover said it takes up space

I tend to keep things but if you are never going to use them sell them so someone else can...but I would hold off until the project is finished...you never know.

My grage is full of parts taken off of my cars. I keep thinking I'll sell them, but then I think, what if I want to make it stock again some day. I'll probably end up selling the parts eventually but I'll make darn sure I am not going to want them again some day.

eeeesh, just about an even split for keeps or sales. I like the idea of selling them once I am done, that is probably a great suggestion that I think I will take to the bank, or church in this case, thanks PREACHER. That might have saved me in the past a few times too. Between the machine shop and mail order parts delays, I might need those parts before the summer!
