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!
