Looking at possibly taking this motor in as a partial trade and just trying to get an idea of what it might be worth



From the listing:


Now, he recently had it up on EBay and it only brought in $3600

I'm guessing it's probably because he only has one sale under his belt

I have no idea what these things actually go for, but in order to be worthwhile trade, I'd have to pull at least $5-6k out of it

Possible?

 

Snake,

Does he have any engine dyno figures or head flow #'s? If not, what was the weight of the wagon and with what gear ratio, stall etc? I think more info is needed to determine a purchase or not. Engine could have 650 hp or 900 hp and anywhere between

Also, what about the internals? Crank, compression ratio etc...
The seller could probably get it sold much sooner if he provided more information. The heads alone are worth about $3k+.

Prospective buyers need to know the details...

My $0.02

 

That's exactly what I told him

Doesn't have any dyno numbers and apparently it only ran on a stand for break in

Even though I know it's worth more, I'd prefer to get out of him (at least $5k) and just let him keep the motor

 

Don't care for a filled block !! cooling problems

 

Even if only filled below the freeze plugs?
