GI Auto Salvage has a decent selection of engine parts. They have whole blocks they pull from cars and trucks, sometimes disassembling the blocks to sell off the individual parts (heads, headers, wiring horness, distributors, etc). You can find a listing for them on yellowpages.com. GI Auto salvage is off route 46, so its not central per se, but might be your best local choice atm.
|
the best thing you can do to help yourself if you are junk yard hunting is to actually go to one. most of the places that act as dismantlers have rip off prices, at least double what you would pay and a u-pull-it type place.
i am gonna be making at least one trip to the yards this week. is there a particular vortec casting you are lookin for or will any set work for your needs? |
any casting as long as its v8
|
the better question is prolly, do you have money for them right now? i don't really have space to store any more engine parts around here. lol

Dave, I happened to go to GI auto salvage on friday (1 of 5 junkyards i hit friday). It seems just like the rest of them, its slowly turning into a dismantling place. I did not see more than 2 f-bodies and i found 1 not crushed monte carlo. sort of out of character for that place.
|
Finding a decent yard is hard to do anymore. The only yard I really go to anymore has only old stuff, which wont help wayfast. As for Monte Carlos, there are a few right over the bridge in Morrisville PA that have some Montes. One had a few turd gens also!

I think GI is pulling more and more of their own stuff so they can charge more and so they stop some of the stuff that walks out. I did give them props though - had a handful of odd and end plastics for the steering column and the guy at the gate just made a face and waved me through without paying. Nothing they could put an "honest" price to I guess. Folks who go to junkyards should be prepared to haggle - never pay what they tell you. Just think about it a moment, turn to leave to put it back, then turn around again and offer a smaller price like you aren't sure if you really want it. Works for me. |

yes it is a "you-pull-it" for the most part. There are a few things they take off and sell such as motors in great shape, tranny's, hub cabs, alternators, ect. But for the most part, you roam the yard yourself and grab whatever you need, then show them at the front office and pay. No one bothers you, hassels you, nothing. I love going there. It's right off of 8A on the Turnpike. |
