Not me - I believe in recycling. 1970 428 Service Block. 1961 390/401 HP heads ported/polished/valves upsized - all to 427 specs. 1963 427 dual quad intake. 1963 dual point distributor. Stock rebuilt water pump. Stock timing chain cover. Stock fuel lines, filter, etc. Doing my part to give old engine parts a new life.
