Default good finds at salvage yard

I cant post pics here at work but while i was at the local pull it yourself salvage yard i made some good finds.

1) Brand spankin new 19# injectors, brand new O rings and filters.
2) Brand new starter solonoid
3)Brand new IAC sensor
4) brand new....ish.....EGR valve.

I was there looking for GT-40 heads and intake but with no luck, the only two Explorers they had there were 96's and V-8s....both with no motors....

what else can I get GT40's off of? I heard someone say soemthing once about mountaineers which there are a couple there.

but this place is freakin sweet, every day 25 cars in, 25 cars out. so they cycle out inventory very quickly.

what other junkyard mods can you suggest I can do. Also if anyone ever needs a taraus fan, i saw at least 20 out there, and thats not a joke.

i asked the guy at the wrench n go(10 minutes from my house and this is the place i went to.) but he says anythign with gt heads or intake is usualy gone the first day they get the explorers in. but its funny because i never see 5.0's around here. lol so i dunno i'll get lucky sooner or later. I might have to break down and buy a refurbished set from clear water head company...500 hunder bones shipped[&o]

Yes the V8 Mountaineers are the same as the Explorers to answer this part of your question.

sounds what they are like around me, except the pick a part by me doesnt distingush performance parts as far as I know...

all engines are like 100 bucks too.... too bad I didnt have the stuff, time, extra bennie to pull the 5.0 outta a 95 gt[] then flip it for 400
