I came across two verified 292 HD truck engines in a salvage yard in rural Colorado east of the front range.  The engines have not been pulled and are still in the trucks.   Is there any interest in some of the parts?  These include the following:
  CITE steel forged crankshafts (two)
  The C2AE blocks (two)
The one remaining ECZ-9425-B intake is already spoken for.  And then there’s the HD connecting rods and cylinder heads with sodium filled exhaust valves.  
Factors to consider on whether this is worthwhile is the four hour round trip travel time from Denver and the effort to pull the engines themselves.   It’s just me and the yard owner and we’re not young.    I scouted the yard about a week ago for y-block parts and spent half a day out there.   There are lots of late 50s Ford cars and a number of Ford pickups up to 64.  I have no need for a steel forged crankshaft for my planned 292 street build. 
Your thoughts and feedback are appreciated.   I have already run this by Ted Eaton who graciously responded with his expert knowledge.
