Folks I have a really nice 1991 348 motor out of a car with only 14K miles. With all the accessories attached and minus the transmission. What do you think it's worth?
It was a wreck. Front end collision. I was thinking about selling it or putting it on an engine stand in my living room. I guess it all depends on what it's worth and what I'll sell it for. I would take 10K.
Damn I wish i knew more about the $ of the 348 engine but I think you will get a few offers with that price just routine maintenance cost anywhere from $3k to $11k and a blow out as high as $23k to bad you already posted $10k you might have gotten more TOO LATE...
$10K is what I was thinking, if you are lucky. It may have low miles, but engine condition is still unknown.
Watch this guy he's shifty he's trying to low ball ya...... next it will be " Sure I'll do you a favour and take this obsolete engine off your hands for no more than $8k and well I have too have it shipped to Aussie and it will cost me at least $3k you should take that off the top of the asking price"...lol
I've been offering one with a fresh valve job & belt service, but without alternator, a/c compressor, or exhausts for $7500 for a year or two with no takers-go figure.
Yeah, unless someone blows their engine up, there isnt much of a need for these engines ect... Also, MOST would rebuild their own engine (if it ever failed) and put that back in their car, so engine/chassis numbers match up if the ever want to sell the car. Most Ferrari owners do not like 'story' cars.
I know that GT Car Parts sold a 348 engine in 1993 for $7250. It was sold without any ancillaries, but it did include $350 worth of new gaskets, so that the buyer could pull/reinstall the heads for inspection. This info was from a car I looked at while I was shopping last year... - Eric
Its worth what someone is willing to pay.... or you can do like the dismantling companies and demand $18-$20K for it... then stock pile a few hundred of them and go around bragging that you have a multi-million dollar inventory (of grossely overpriced parts nobody will buy)! I doubt many people would swap a different complete motor into thier car, unless they planned to keep the car forever. You'd probably be better off parting the motor out, and scrap the block.
But an extra engine to play with "turbocharge" why not. When original pistons is at approx 1000$ each and a crankshaft is 6000$, you don´t wanna play around to much with the "original" engine.
$10K seems steep to me, I have seen numerous engines in the 6-8 range over the past year, guess it depends on history of the car before the wreck
Anyone know why TMobile Guy cashed out instead of picking up a $7,500 engine? IIRC he was predicting over $20,000 repair costs when his timing belt let go.
