Diesel parts- anything worth saving?

Suppose I go see the stash of parts that are up for grabs.

among the items is claimed to be some Die&Sell parts

Is anything like that worth saving? DX blocks only?
Certainly no heads, right? Nobody wants diesel heads. Right?

Only .921 lifter blocks?

If you can cc advice to RocketScience443@hotmail.com [change 443 to the proper # first] that would be awesome. Visit may take place as early as today Saturday 1/30/16

And or text or call 517..44 nine.oh 432

fyi

my 470 is an .842 block. Well worth saving any 5.7 Olds diesel block.

Are these 350 DX blocks worth building an engine off of? I've considered looking into it. I plan on making mine a street car, but I'd like to keep a small block in it.

Thanks guys
I have to haul stuff in a '99 Caravan, so might not be able to get much.

Will alert you if things pan out.
