Value of unstamped engines cases
Hi. I'm clearing out some of stuff from storage. Over the years I managed to pick up three unstamped magnesium replacement engine cases. All are used (not NOS) and in good shape. One is a 1R/2R for a 2.0. One is a 3R/3R for a 2.2? The last is a 4R/5R for a 2.2 or 2.4.
I believe the fact these are unstamped cases make me worth significantly more than a basic used case. I wanted to get people's opinion on the value for them. Thanks,

I don't see them as being worth significantly more. If a car doesn't have the original engine then an unstamped case is no any better than a stamped one. They are both non-matching. If it was NOS that would have been a positive.

The problem with mag cases is that they tend to warp with the temp variables during long storage, usually needing line boring, no issues with been unstamped, you can always stamp the #'s, that is the reason for them been unstamped., as for what they are worth,maybe bit more than a stamped one (not by much), Cheers.
