Default What to do with a couple LTx blocks?

So I lose my garage at the end of the month. I have 3 blocks total. I'm keeping one, but what do I do with the other two? One needs all the main caps and has been taken to roughly .020 over. The other spun a main and cam bearing, so it's gonna need work too. They're both 2 bolt blocks. Anybody have a need for a couple of blocks before I just send them to the scrapper for $10 ea???

Lol, no kidding. At least I know Bolo can use em, or at least find good home for them. I'd hate to scrap a couple of blocks that can still be used! Maybe now my wife will stop calling me a horder.

Not sure how to navigate the F/S section. Didn't see them on there. Was curious as to how much they went for?

Thanks Chris for the blocks. Now I can start a stroker build one of these days. See you at GLD in Spring. Your new gears and stall will definitely make a difference.
