Anyone else have a collection of engine parts in the garage?

So does anyone have a bunch of engine parts in the garage that you won't ever be using again on your car? I realized how much "junk" I have in the garage yesterday as I finished waxing the T-bird. I have:

a HO upper and lower intake with TB
19lb injectors
14lb injectors
a 70mm F2VF MAF
a stock HO cam
stock HO headers
speed density air tube

I'm not going to be using this stuff any time soon but yet I still have it. I keep telling myself I should save it in case I get that sport I want one day but realistically I don't think I'll ever have two "toy" cars. So basically I'm saving junk for no good reason. Does anyone else have this problem? :hick:

If I had those parts in my garage I would have already done the HO conversion :D 
 I do have a collection of "stuff " though
Fox-less at the moment

He's far and beyond the HO conversion ;)

I have enough parts to build another Tbird, less a transmission, and tail lights...

4 engines in various piles of parts...
2 complete sets of Tbird doors...

Nothing worth a whole lot though...

I have a complete 91 T-bird 5.0 HO shortblock, all my stock SO top end stuff,  7.5 rearend, all my stock suspension parts, etc.  Yeah I probably need to throw the  away but I keep asking myself "will this car ever be valuable enough to restore to original?".

I have a 1.5 car garage so if I have to work on the 95 it's gotta be outside, which is fun in the winter.
