Hey guys,

I had bought a used (unknown origin, so who knows how many miles) 99 LS1 motor that I ran in a V8 miata conversion for a few months. I spun a bearing in that motor and bought a new crate LS1 and transferred over the intake, coilpacks, etc. etc. to the crate motor.

I've got a buddy that's interested in buying what is left of my LS1 with the spun bearing to rebuild it. The question is, what's that worth? Presumably decent block, pistons, rods, and everything else unknown. A shop pulled the rod caps to look at the crank and said "it's certainly salvageable".

I don't have any idea of what to ask for. I imagine it's worth a couple hundred just in scrap aluminum?? I tried searching craigslist and the classifieds here but didn't find anything like this as a comparable.

Any guidance would be helpful.

Cheers,

Dean

Well I traded my old american racing headers for exactly what you are describing.. I was going to sell the headers for $500 probably.. that is probably a good starting point

I sold one for 500 buck's not too long ago, it was only on craiglist for like a day, so I may have sold it too cheap.

$500 sounds about right to me also.

Thanks, guys. That's exactly the feedback I needed.

When the stroker went in my car I got $500 for the block and $250 for the cam..Crank and cylinders looked good just had a busted ringland on #7....

I sold an LS1 shortblock for $400. The crank had trashed thrust bearing so I got another good crank to throw in with the disassembled engine. Used cranks are about $100. So I'd say if it needed the crank turned, I'd say its worth about $300.
