Used 3.0 Long Block Value?
 

Thinking about upgrading to a 3.2. What value would a strong running 3.0 Long Block be? It has oil leaks and needs either rings or valve guides. The compression is about 130.

Check recent sales in the classifieds forum, but running 3.0 long blocks go from anywhere between $3K and $6K depending on the condition. Someone looking to make a swap may not be very interested in having to do a top end job to replace the rings and/or guides, but it would be a great candidate for a rebuild or hotrod.

Thanks. That price is just the long block. No intake,exhaust, alternator, etc.

Probably worth more to sell off the pieces. If it needs a rebuild the value goes down a fair bit. But here is some ballpark prices for some stuff that would sell quickly...... (prices may be undervalue to some)

Case 1000
Crank/rods 750
Heads 600
cams 100
oil pump 100
oil cooler 125
cams 75-100
cam towers 150
upper valve covers 25
lower turbo covers 50
rockers/shafts/bolts 75
chain boxes 50
intermediate shaft 50
Piston/cylinders anywhere from 0-300


Just gives you an idea of what some stuff *might* go for. You may get more for some of the stuff too!

Cheers

If it needs rebuilding, $2K-$3K max, for the longblock...

Great Thanks. This will give me an idea so I can decide if I am going to upgrade.
