Junkyard score I hope...
Went to the local salvage yards today. I scored 2 injection pumps with all the hard fuel lines, a coolant & windshield washer tanks. Also picked up a throttle cable, front tank and rear tank fuel sending units all for $70. The parts came off of 7.3 IDI trucks. One pump came off an old U-Haul. The engine was clean, like a recent rebuild. The pump is rebuilt by International Fuel System. The sending units are in good condition.
Did I do good? Also they sell injectors for $5 each. Is it worth getting a spare set? Just incase I ever need to send off a set to get rebuilt? That is why I picked up the pumps. Part hoarding I guess.
Also how should I prepare and store the pumps for long term storage. I really wis I had the money to buy a couple of those old engines.

That is definitely a score. I will pull and save any decent looking 7.3 IP or hard line set that I find. I plan to keep my truck forever and as the years go by a rebuildable IP will become harder and harder to find. For that price critical spares are a great idea. If the injectors look decent I would say grab those also. You might also want to grab an extra oil cooler since the prices are decent.

The uhaul might have a reman engine in it. A few years back Uhaul apparently retired all their 7.3 trucks and liquidated their stock of IDI parts, many of us here bought a bunch of their stuff. I got one of their reman IP's and a set of injectors, although I had issues with the injectors. IP worked great though.

Went to the junk yard yesterday and scored a set of injectors for $24!!! Now to save some cash so I can get them rebuilt or something. Also scored the stock air intake setup so I'm not always sucking in engine bay hot air. The U-Hual was a bust. I pulled out an injector and it was rusty. So I didn't bother with looking into anything else on it. I may try to get an oil cooler.
Any suggestions on how to make sure it's good. I don't want to buy one that's junk. Rebuilding it would be done anyways.
I'm just parts hoarding.... Never know when I may need them.
