I have some older cast iron pieces, intakes from my 1950's cars, engine parts and brackets from the same vintage. Is it worth anything to someone that melts metal in a small scale home foundry? Or do I just chuck it to the recycler? I probably have about 300 pounds that I have collected and just need to clean it up. Any ideas?

I'd post it before scrapping it. A lot of the older stuff is getting hard to find.

Rare stuff might be worth some dough.
I scrapped a 283 2bbl iron intake and 318 2bbl iron intake last year myself. Heavy as hell, and not worth ****!

Multi carb intakes bring good $$$$. Three duece , two fours etc.
Agreement here. Never know what may be worth some money to somebody else. I say post some pics here in the thread.
Here is a story ... I once found some old Pontiac exhaust manifolds in a stream bed - all rusted to hell. Took them to work at the machine shop, baked them in the oven to remove all the moisture, sent them through the shot peener to blast them down to bare iron again, then resurfaced them on the belt sander. Sold the manifolds for $100.

I clean up old farms and find alot of stuff. I bring it home and try to find it a home and end up hauling it of. Its saves time and money hauling it to the scrap yard to start with.

If it's something desirable, post it for sale.
(Hemmings motor news) or a forum specific to the part if you know what it is.

I had an engine from a Checker cab station wagon somone gave me, it was a Chevy 327 four barrel. All froze up, took it apart, ot the crank and pistons to turn, sold the intake, heads and block and crank separately for about $200.
It is all stuff that has been posted on and off for years on c/l, over feebay, forums and local ads. Just undesirable stuff, nothing like a diamond in the rough. I just need to get rid of it and can't throw it in the home recycle, it's too heavy and makes our garbage cans too heavy and the truck won't lift it then I get a note from them, been there, done that. $27 for the scrap yard is more than taking it to the dump and being charged $20.
