Im about to get a new motor so Im wondering what I should do with my old one. It will be a complete, 305 TPI out of an 87 IROC. It has the usual problem of smoking on start up, and it makes some ticking noises, nothing majorly wrong with it, it has 97k original miles on it...How much could I get for it? Is anyone interested?

Probably part it out, probably get more money parting it out between the TPI setup (400-600$ complete) 50$ for the crank....little stuff here and there....pretty much everything cept the block and pistons will go on a 350......just a matter of you spending the time to find people who want it....the TPI is definately the big thing there tho

you could maybe get $150-$200 for it 305's are not in high demand!

The complete TPI set up is worth more seperate then as a complete package with a wore out 305. Junk the motor.;) ;) And sell the TPI only it has more of a market.

Another vote for junking the motor. Nobody is going to pay $.50 for a 305 that smokes and makes noises. Sell the TPI complete including harness, computer and distributer. You can get $400+ for it.
