Judging by that parts list, IF you had a stock shortblock to start with, you would be looking at around $3500 - 4000 to do one similar.. GM crate motors similar are about that price also
Since he is a friend, let your conscience be your guide.. ask him what he wants for it, and deal from there, that way you both end up happy ------------------ Texlurch - 68 Camaro (Just a little ol' LT1 with a Hot Cam, I SWEAR ;) " a little spray never hurt anyone, spank you very much!" or the old standby:"I came here to race, not sell real estate.

$3500-$4000 sounds about right to me...

Hey Eric,
I was hoping for $2,500 or so. These guys are just boostin my stock. http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif Anyways, just make me a reasonable offer. I hardly expect $3,500+ for this motor. ------------------ -Joe 79' Z28 4-spd http://joesmith59.freeservers.com/ *Boycott Lapeer* |
