I dunno, but Im going to try to avoid heading south on the Parkway for at least....well, Labor Day ahahahahah.
Kidding, I just saw the sea of headlights and tail lights sitting in the New Jersey Parking Lot..errr...Parkway last night as I went over the top of them coming home from work...I just shook.
Working today and tomorrow, but I have off on Monday. My gf's parents invited me down to there house in LBI, so I get to go meet them for the first time.

3-5 cents per pound, i believe. Some yards won't take it if there is still oil/coolant in the block, so drain that first.

You'll also get more money if you disassemble it and scrap the pistons separately - they are aluminum.

Depends on how much you have.....last time my brother and I went to the scrap yard we had over 1700 lbs of steel in the back of his Dakota. :)
