The biggest problem with selling V6 parts (besides low demand) is the weight. I think the whole package weighs around 850 lbs, and even broken down the components are heavy. Not much of a problem if a local buyer can be found, but shipping this stuff would be killer.

When I pulled my 305 back in 1991 I found nobody interested in the engine. It was almost completely disassembled just so we could manage loading the parts for the trip to the dumps.
