Anything useful I could pull out of my old engine? 700

My old engine is scrap metal as far as I'm concerned, but maybe I could pull and sell some items to people on the board or turbobricks.

It's an 87 vintage (skinny rods, no squirters, uh... moved bearings?) B230FT.
It was driven about 2000 miles with a blown headgasket and oil that was changed 2 or 3 times to remove the moisture.

No compression on the #2 (from water pump) cylinder.

I'm thinking the T-cam might be of value to someone. Maybe the valves too? Someone at the shop where I did the work wants to disassemble it and make the block into a coffee table. I should have told him the head weighs a lot less and will polish up nicer :P Maybe I will tomorrow.

Happy Bricking!

The cylinder head may be of value to someone but only for a stock rebuild using the original valves. The cam is really of no interest to most people on Turbobricks despite the fact it's likely the most versatile cam for an automatic daily driver. I've experimented with lots of different cams in various turbo cars over the years and have always ended up with a T. That said, you'd be lucky to have someone pay for shipping costs to take it off your hands...
