Got lucky with our motorhome, paid 250 for it guy couldn’t find title so he said once your done with it he will tow it back to his yard for free.cut the 454 and trans out sold it for $500 and sent it back lol
Next time, Tannerite...Hope it's different in your states. In MI I must have called 35 plus places to scrap this motor home once I pulled the drivetrain. No one would take it. I parted it out, sold what I could then cut it up into a million pcs and threw it in all scrap steel, alum and construction dumpsters that I knew of.

How it's done.
Very informative!Don't write off the engine as all smog, cast internals yet. My advice is to look at the balancer on the engine to see if its the old skinny one used on steel cranks, or the wide one used 72 on for cast cranks. I have picked up numerous of these motor home engines after 72 build date on the cheap thru the years and every time they have had steel cranks and multiple times the 6 pack rods, while still being internally balanced. A customer of mine needed a steel crank for a project, so I tore down one I got out of a 78 Winnebago just last week. Had excellent condition steel crank and the big rods in it. Here is the block date and the rods.View attachment 800972 View attachment 800973 View attachment 800974
