Just got through calling a recycler in st. paul. Quote me about 215 a ton for cast iron.
Did I hear him right? If so that works out to around $1 a lb. Maybe I will have to call that guy back with the chevelle that is pretty much ready for the chruser.

You're off by a decimal place... That's around 11 cents/lb
Anyone have any scrap recycler recommendations in the Twin Cities (prefer southern part)?
I have some old SBC exhaust manifolds, stock iron SBC intake manifold, sway bar, unboxed control arms, etc. that I need to get rid of and aren't worth anything to anyone.

Stan, let me know if you find a place; I have some stuff I can kick in also.

When I got rid of my bathroom tub (and a lot of other junk) I nearly had to pay them to take it. Most places will offer to take it off your hands, but won't pay anything until you come up with 1-ton+.
They usually only pay out for brass, copper and aluminum in pound quantities.

Here's a scrap value website:
http://scrapmetalpricesandauctions.com/us/ Click on the 'U.S. Scrap Prices' tab.
Looks like scrap iron is around 0.19/lb.
The thing that amazes me is aluminum scrap. It's around $1/lb and I remember it being around 0.20/lb. but then that was 15 yrs ago...
Here's prices from a place down by me to get another idea on price.
