Motor from 1982 Cube Van

I have a cube van that I am sending to the scrap yard pretty quick, I think it has the 351 in it. Just curious if it is worth my time to pull this motor to use for some possible future projects, are these blocks used in the vans any good?


Edit: The van is on propane and has never run since we bought it, we bought it to take the box off the back but decided to junk the other van we were going to put it on

pull the engine and save it or sell it.
i use to run propane on my trucksfrom 1979 to about the early 90's.
we would go 300,000 miles on those trucks with out having to bore the block. the bearings where the only thing that would wear out.. it worth saving.
