Does anybody buy engines these days?

I decided I've got too many engines sitting around taking up space. So I'm going to need to get rid of them. Question is. Do people still buy DI engines or is it better to just scrap them?

There are three I'm thinking about getting rid of.

4.0 with around 150k on it out of my '97 DI. It ran strong when I pulled it but will need some attention. It had low oil pressure at idle and had developed a small external coolant leak.

3.9 out of a '95 DI that I picked up to get some parts off of to convert my 4.0 to a 14CUX. I was told it had around 105k and ran when taken out. It was missing a freeze plug so no idea if it's been over heated.

3.9 that's currently in my '95 DI project. Odometer has around 167k on it and I assume it's the original motor. But have no history on it. It starts right up and sounds good.

I assume the one currently in the truck and running should be worth something. Not sure if the other two are worth messing with. Thoughts?

Just post them for sale at a fair price. I'm sure there are three people aut there that want rebuild candidates.
