    Their are 2. 6 cylinder mavericks at my local junkyard, big bumper cars. Is their anything off the motors i can salvage? Are people these days looking for power steering off of 6 cylinder motors? carbs? exhaust manifolds? ect...

    thanks for your input

    Grab any good chrome trim, from windows doors, hood lip, etc. Grab the grills. Boomerangs.

    I don't know if there are any engine parts worth salvaging. but look at the trim stuff.

    Exhaust manifolds are good to have if they are not cracked.

    Some of the guys over on the FordSix Forum are sometimes looking for valve covers, particularly if they've got the "power by ford" stamped into them.

    I wouldn't waste my time with 6 cylinder stuff unless you had a customer for it. I have scrapped running 250's because no one was interested
