355 Engine and Trans For Sale on Bring A Trailer

The cams are different as well as sensor validity up to SN 38321. So is 38322 still 2.7?

Seems odd you would have the same 2 Motronic ECU's and at some point only one needs a cam sensor.

 

Not sure where the info in that post or Ricambi's site would have came from then. Maybe Ricambi has some insight.

 

From what I see, the pistons are all P/N: 159141

 

The anticipation is killing me....

 

Lmao I understand they are all the same part number, even the thread I linked the last response was someone looking at all the same part number pistons but coming across 'correct' and 'incorrect' ones as far as weight.

From linked thread-

"We found all part numbers etc were unchanged, merely red dot or green dot, no-one could explain but there was indeed as you guys found clear differences between the current supply and what was in the engine.'

That and the notation of weight by the pistons sold by Ricambi would seem to mean there are 2 different piston weights and 1 piston part number.

 

That's a very rare occurrence if true (I did not look at the threads you posted). Most of the time, the P/N is supper seeded to a new number, for even the smallest of changes.

 

Check out the thread and other link when you get a chance, would seem that is the case but agreed it's odd the part number would not change.

 

And there’s a lesson in values for you... $11,500 plus action fees. Still a decent deal for the buyer in my opinion.

 

I was going to jump in @14k. have a couple spare bullets already I'm trying to liquidate

 

That's what the parts diagram says. I'm not sure of the engine number, but my car is a 95, 2.7 and has a single cam sensor. The signal is shared by both ECUs. 38321 is when they removed the cam sensor mount from the LH head as well.

 

Gotcha, didn't know the later ones shared a sensor. Is yours a single pump car?

 

Yep. But I don't know if the changes occurred at the same time (cam sensors and fuel pumps).

 

I dont agree with you Brian but only because I am not trying to flip it. You would know the market netter than me but if I bought it it would be for a spare. I all ready got a spare transmission cheap for my F1.
A spare engine and transmission to resell is likely a good deal but just tthe buy it and have it sit for 10 years for a spare for ME only would not be.
I think thas why people are so different in their pricing.

Had I not bought the transmission I could have justified 11 or 12 for both.

Which I think would have been a good deal. At the 7500 I was going to buy it but it went for more than I was Willing to spend just to,shelve it for a decade.
Just explaining my point of view thats all.

 

I don’t know what there is to agree or disagree with. Your personal need for one doesn’t set the current market price.

 

I guess i disagree thatthe market is as high as you say but again that depends whether we are talking asking pices or actual selling prices.

 

I’m talking about actually sales and you just watched that one sell for nearly $13k all in. What more do you need to understand the current value?

 

Clearly Brian has been parting cars out for a while and knows the market which quite frankly suprises me too. Example - what the hell could possible go wrong to warrant replacing throttle bodies? It's hard for me to believe there is such a demand for used 355 engine parts.

I registered to bid and thought about going to $10K then decided that I'm way too busy to be parting out a motor.

I watch parts daily on ebay and from memory, 2 other motors are listed for 10 or 10.5 and I think they have been sitting for a while.

 

For those looking: (not all complete)

I can tell the last two sets of throttle bodies I sold were not going back on 355 engines. People build adapters and use them to ITB other engines. That said, I probably have 2 or 3 more sets if anybody wants to try a project like that.

 

I have been looking for an engine and tranmission for 10 years and can only go by what I have seen and generally an engine is about 10k and a transmission. Is about 5.
I have also seen many not sell for years such as the one that wants 10k plus your core.

This is why I only got a transmission less than a year ago.

 

If you need one today expect to,pay that, if you dont you can wait and get a better deal eventually.

 

Thats kinda my point I guess Dave is 10k was my high side.
I still do not understand how cutting out the harness saved them a bunch or time but again as stated I guess its the norm.
I know if it was me I would have taken the harness off so it was not butchered and in the picture. Too many bandits out their just to trust and once you pay try to get that money back.
For me its a trust issue.

If i needed one and Brian had it for sale I would have paid 15 for both with a butchered harness but he has a history.
