I think I have one of the best jobs that a gearhead could ever have, I work in a recycling scrap yard. YOu could not believe the stuff people throw away. The coolest part is if I can fit it in the bed of my pickup I can have it for little or nothing. To date I have found a 348 chev, a std bore 400 sb 2 265 sbc one complete from intake to pan, a 427 tall deck chev, my uncle found a 409 and snatched it before I could get to it, sombody brought in a 68 Coronet with a 70000 mile 383. Just a very few of the notable things I have seen in the junk. I am still looking for the holy grail,,, a Hemi,,, Hey it could happen, you never know what people will sell for scrap.  

what about gum ya find any gum?

i live in a scrap yard

lol

I'm still looking for some gum ?LOL

You ever toss engine blocks in your bed for more traction in the snow?  That's what I'd do if I had access that kind of stuff.  Also, you find any gum?

Actually, now that you mention it, I've got 2 slant sixes riding in the back of my truck just for traction.  I found them on separate occasions behind a hot rod shop in a pile of scrap parts.  They're nice and heavy and all I had to do was make sure they don't slide around.  

I BELEIVE IT!!!!  

If you give me some of that stuff I'll give ya a 5 star rating!

just joking... i wouldn't give you a 5 star rating!

Just joking again!lol

This message board is a scrapyard.  If you know what I mean.  

If you get out far enough you would be amazed what is still sitting in rural boneyards. I recently found an old Service truck from a long gone Gas Station with a McCullogh [hope that spelling is correct] supercharged flathead V8, 2 Corvair Monzas that were identical red cars, a 65 aluminum wheeled Pontiac fastback, and most of the stuff was very fixable. The guy who owned it had a 409 63 Biscayne and a few other drivers around that could be bought whole. Old Salvage Yards rule!

And no I did not find any gum, but there are always a few squirrels lurking about.
