Going to sell a SBC, how much to charge??

Agree with you guys -- on the LS motors -- but that's in this forum.... none of the hot rodders I know wants an LS motor... they're still stuck in SBC land.

Having said that -- brand new motors are a dime a dozen these days --- so I wouldn't expect much. It's not like it's some bad azz trick aluminum headed Dart little M based 406 / 427 -- or that line... it's just a nice little small block. Everyone has one. Not dissing it mind you -- just saying what I feel is the market for a motor.

He's right. Ask some big brains at GM Performance Parts (I have), and the'll tell you that the good ol' small block Chevy still outsells LS stuff 10:1.

..and I agree about the commonality of the engine weighing down the value.

Start at $3K take what you can get. Good luck.

I was offered a similar set up for around 1800 but decided to go LS instead.

Just start high and work ur way down - advertise everywhere.
