Personally been in the market this summer for one.

I would estimate $6k -$7k for an engine needing studs with the miles and no history. Partially as you don’t know what else you might find.
You can ask more, I think you would get it, but I’m not sure it would sell quickly.

$10k will buy you a fair and running sc engine with some history if you are quick enough to be the one to pick it up. That seems to be the magic number. Some seem to go up to $14k or $15k but then they tend to sit around.

So with it needing work, my call would be $7.5k if you want to sell it reasonably quickly and be prepared to negotiate a little.

For me, in the end, I found a car with a nice engine with the intention of dropping that into my project. Only problem is, it turned out to be a really great car. I did get to drive it before buying too which for me is a plus.

Thought about seeing if whoever your getting your engine from might be interesting in trading? Most of the traders out there will either do the studs or have contacts that will and therefore not such a worry for them.

Edit, maybe a little more as I didn’t read the new m&k on it.
