Found some parts in my storage unit

I was going through my storage unit yesterday when I came across some old parts I forgot were in there... Among such useless stuff like an RX7's rotary engine block and piston, eibach springs for a 4th gen Camaro, and a working refrigerator, I re-discovered a bare 351W roller block, the stock assembled heads from it, a brand new set of Heddman ceramic-coated headers, and an AOD and converter out of an 87 Mercury. If any of you had rediscovered this stuff in your garage, what would you do with it?

E-bay and craigslist if I don't need it and my buddies aren't needing it

They're long tubes meant for a FOX mustang 302 or 351w.

Re: Found some parts in my storage unit

Needless to say, it's a little cluttered. I haven't been through it since I got back from Iraq in 2006. There's a bunch of crap for my 88 vickie, too. And the RX-7 motor... really weird. It's not a block like you'd think of a V8. The whole block is 5 or 6 plates that're about 3" thick, and they were a little scattered. I don't even know what they're worth. Gotta go ask a tuner or the Nissan parts guy.

As far as the 351... I was thinking I could clean it up, bore it .030, and put together a 408 stroker long block, then sell it.
