What's the going rate for used shortblocks?

[nonliberal]

Like the title says, what is the average a person could expect to sell their excellent condition 2013 GT short block for?

I am just looking to go forged so I don't damage anything this spring when I turn up the boost.
Debating on buying a built short block or just building my block.

Buy a whole new short block imo , for the long run it pays to have a backup. Not saying anything bad will happen but its nice to have should something happen. Also if you factor in how much you really save versus the down time of using your block plus the shipping its really not that big of a difference.

I sold my shortblock with 1000 miles on it for 1500. I wish I would have kept it.

I just bought a complete motor w/20k miles on it from craigslist for $3k. that's what im gonna beat on for a little while.

ill give you a hundred for it.....

 

[nonliberal]

Yeah you guys are right. I should probably keep it.

For what a paper weight.
Sell the short block and put the money away.
Why shell out money for no reason? And store a block then have to worry about it getting contaminated while its sitting on a stand and taking up room. Been there and done it.
Cross the bridge of having to build again when the time comes.

LOL, well that's a good point as well. It's not a DD so if it is down for a while it's not that big of deal.

I'm possibly interested if you are going to get rid of it

Don't forget the wife factor: Having more car part stuff laying around taking up room makes it seem like you have more going on.

LOL, I hear ya! Fortunately I have a 30X50 shop that she is not allowed to step foot in. She used to do this thing called "cleaning" in there and it seemed more like "hiding my shit" to me. lol

She used to put my tools away while I would still be using them on a project. Finally I had to tell her to GTFO. In a nice sort of way of course. :beer:
