engine and trans, what are they worth?

[pontiacfreak142]

Im just asking for right now, nothing may come of it, but im curious as to what you guys think these might be worth.

 

The engine:

383 stroker

95 2 bolt main block

.030 over

eagle cast stroker crank

eagle forged I beam rods

the pistons i cannot for the life of me remember the name of bought them off my neighbor, said they were some $900 set, i did lookat the manufacturers web site and that did seem to be about right. All i can remember is they are 10.5:1 compression and forged (if i do decide to sell, will take the pan off and see if i can, names on the underside of the piston)

Fairly mild comp cam (if i remember right, like .530-.540 @113 lsa) - this also with 1.6 rockers, but i believe i have 1.8's.

pro comp aluminum "gen 3" heads. 2.02 intake 1.60 exaust, 190 cc heads.

1.8 proform rockers

victor jr intake manifold

1 7/8 stainless long tubes (bought em off a member on here, not sure of brand)

Also have A double roller timing chain, cover, summit racing "383 stroker" valve covers.

 

The transmission:

honestly, i dont much about it. Bought it from a friend that had it built by hard shift in johnstown. Its a turbo 350 and has a full manual valve body.

 

Let me know what you guys think. Ill try to see if i can figure out exactly what pistons are in it and exact cam specs.

Maybe $3,000 for the motor and $400 for the trans since you know nothing about it.

After doing a quick search, i believe they are arias pistons. Flat top with valve reliefs

I think since he doesn't have some reputable engine builder name on it, he'd have a hard time selling it for a decent price. So I would expect to actually get cheaper. Just my 2 cents, just put the damn thing in the car rather then take a bath on it.

I'd say you would honestly get close to $1500 for the motor with no paperwork etc and no way to hear it actually run

finish it.

[pontiacfreak142]

finish it.

 

It looks like im gonna be. The whole reason for this was that i found a good deal on a 99 z28 and was going to sell off this stuff for my down payment. Needless to say tge woman shot it down before i even got 'i want to buy' out lol

$1500 tops on the engine. Maybe a couple hundred more if it had a carb, or good dist, or good accessories bolted to it.

 

$300-$400 on the trans, unless it has a conv.

Or you could put it in your car and not lose $. And you might pick up a tenth or 2 .

These guys speak the truth. Even engines from a good builder are hard to sell if they aren't already in a car and people can see them working. Plus you have things like this out there: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHEVY-383-STROKER-ENGINE-GM-HEADS-STREET-PERFORMANCE-FREE-SHIPPING-SPECIAL-/181370988500?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a3a8da7d4&vxp=mtr

 

383 for $1950 (OBO even) with a "TWO YEAR 30,000 MILE WARRANTY".

 

Honestly, I'd say you'd be lucky to get $1000 for it especially with the SBC fading and 5.3L LS motors being so cheap. The LS platform is the new SBC.
