[QUOTE="Mulholland Man, post: 16631288, member: 191905"] Since they don't make the Trinity Engines any longer, they are expensive. I have only seen replacement OEM motors (complete) for 37.5k, since they have been out of production for some time and are super scarce. When you say 5.8, are you talking about a used "Trinity" engine? That would be SUPER cheap. I'm figuring that the value of the car with 48k miles (if the motor were in shape and not considering the mods) is at LEAST 50k if the motor was in good shape. Used cars have gone up 7.5% in value this year due to the shortage of Chips and cars overall. The cheapest 13-14' I found in a NATIONWIDE search was 46k and it had 80k miles+ on it. Plus I have all the mods. Cars with my mileage start generally around 50k stock. I figure the ideal buyer for my car will be a mechanic or DIY guy. If you do it yourself that cost is going to come down significantly. Thank you for your feedback so far guys. Let me know if you have any more thoughts on the value or any questions regarding the car. As always, your input is greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
