What should I save from a 250 cummins?

I got a 250 cummins in a can from GL. The #4 and #2 pistons are melted/damaged. I pulled the heads, injection pump, starter, alternator, water pump, new clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel.

Right now it is just a short block. Is there any thing else worth saving before it goes?

It is very difficult to find new pistons for that engine (as me how I know).....if the other pistons and liners are good I would pull them and save. Also the heads and injectors may have value if you find someone rebuilding a 250.
Pulling the liners can be a real pain if you don't have the right tool.

Pistons are made of unobtanium for the 250. I'd save them as well as the oil cooler and pan.
