How much is my engine worth?
if only I never put a cent into my engine(which aint **** compared to yours) then I would def snag that for $5k-$6k ...or atleast grab the heads if you parted it out. but unfortunately I'm in no position to drop that kind of coin atm.
I've got $5k-$6k into my 408 LS Engine, and I would see a higher percentage of that back if I was to sell it just due to what it is..that's the market now.
Hell no.. that'll never happen.

David,
I agree with everyone here. These things are worth more to the owner than on the market. Take it from me, someone who has sold 3 similar engines to yours in the last 6 years.....you'll be doing well if you get $5000 for it. I know it hurts to hear that, but that's just the way it is bro. The market for LT1 engines like this was ALOT better a few years ago, but not these days with the LSX market.

I think u would have to part it out to even come close to what you want. It's sad but unless you find someone willing to buy YOUR set up or won the lotto it's what the economy is dictating

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
LMAO, How many 9 second normally aspirated REAL streetcars have you seen of ANY flavor.
Let me put the weigh at 3000 lbs, different converter and watch it go nines.
I will get a little closer soon, loosen the converter, different Tb setup and a retune. I look for some 10.30's@3600lbs. Coming soon.
9's huh. You guys build one you can get up on the interstate with for an hour at 75 mph, show me how to do it LOL.
