Question about 394 Engine parts

Hello everyone! The question i have is i bought a 64 Olds Super 88 a while back and the engine was in about 4 totes. To make a long story short i had to buy a engine from a junk yard for parts.Now that i have mine together i was wondering what should i do with all the other parts-Junk them- sell them or clean them up and put them on a shelf. Just looking for some feed back. Thank you!

If the parts are good keep em for spares or sell them. Never junk good old Olds parts!

I will assume you are referring to a TRANSMISSION and not a transvestite. They make new filters for the Slim Jim. They just came out with them pretty recently in fact

Definitely hold on to those parts! They could prove invaluable to either you, or someone else in need on down the road.
