but then he has to tear it down and go through the trouble of marketing it, selling it and shiping it. so i think 2 k might be reasonable.

where about in Canada are you located. have you contacted Randy at Whaletail to see what its worth ?

Also keeping mind as mentioned this engine could be junk inside and buyer as pointed out is taking a huge risk.

I had some other thoughts about this. Rather than sell it as an engine. Seller could always remove fan, runners and shroud and sell it as a complete long block core. Then make a few bucks on the other items.

I think you would have to sink a fair. It of money into it, but a rebuilt 3.0 long block when done would be fairly desirable for those who want to redo an engine but don't have the confidence to crack the long block open. Or don't want to pay a mechanic to.
