Default Box of Mysterious Goodies including Racing Lower Units

Hey guys, new to the website. I came across a box of parts from what I believe was a scarab. It had stainless headers, 5 bladed merc props and 3 bladed cleaver props. Complete lower unit with the transom piece too. lift pumps, alternators, comp cams, and even more that I haven't found. I cant find the number on the lower units as the decals were removed, but i am pretty sure they are mercurys. They have a very streamline look, almost like the nose of a jet fighter. If anyone could tell me what these parts are for or if they are worth anything, let me know and Ill grab some pictures today and add them to this post. Thanks for your time

Sounds like the drives could be Speedmasters, 3, 3A, 4s or 5s. Would need pictures to know.

I did more research and found that they are kiekhaefer aeromarine parts. Not sure what to do with them since they are so old.

There once was a thread on OSO about a shipping container filled with a bunch of mysterious parts including engines and drives. Is this related to that thread and parts ?

If I remember correctly, those were Gentry parts and there were multiple containers. I asked about them a couple of days ago. I was just wondering what ever happened with them
