If your dad has some place to store them he MAW put and ad on CL or Hemmings and see if he has any interest. I know I would want to keep a straight 8 in an early 98 or 88 if I owned one. Talk about BAD@$$! Post pics stat!

YES. I'd love to see them.
Are these "blocks" or "Complete engines"? Complete, or mostly-complete engines will be easier to sell than bare blocks.

Good morning guys
i like to say thanks again for all the help my dad went up into the barn and tried to find the casting numbers and wasn’t successful. I know we’re Olds guys but would anyone know where to start looking for numbers? He is 90% sure they are 37 special engine blocks with pistons and crank. He also has a box of misc parts.
any help is greatly appreciated.

Casting numbers will end up being important. What's more important right now is photos; doubly-so if these are complete engines rather than bare blocks.
Do you mean "1937 Buick Special" blocks with pistons and crank? Or do you mean that you have 37 of them?
