Well, I got a 5.0 engine I am parting out, And I am seeing that the intake does not sell for much at all and people dont want them. So can I take it to a local recycling place and recycle the upper & lower for a little cash?

anywhere from 30 cents, to 80 cents a pound, depending on the quality, finish, and other things.

Not the original link i used. This one claims $1.25/lb.

I doubt a yard willo give you this though. They will prob give you around 50-80 cents/lb.

Then again they might give you 1.25
