I am crazy enough to store the best of them and current scrap is what I will have to pay--just my labor and machine time to get them out.

Sounds like you've come upon a treasure trove, Bear!  But before you go 
crazy, you should keep in mind that these units generally sell for little 
more than the price of scrap.  In the case of H and M power units, they are 
big, heavy, and not good for a lot.  A few of the antique engine enthusiasts 
collect them and set up interesting exhibits.  But most fellows prefer 
smaller hit 'n miss engines in the 5 hp or less range.  In order to take 
advantage of a power unit the size of an M engine, you need one heck of a 
load.
