Help pricing a 2.2 and 901

[Gideon911]

Considering selling my 2.2 race motor and 901 trans. No leaks, no issues. Still currently in my car. Only potentially selling to help pay for metal work/restoration costs. What do you guys think I can sell these for? I don't have the engine and trans numbers off hand. Car is at the body shop but I can get them obviously

2.4 built on a 2.2 case.
Case modified for windage, timecerted head studs, piston oil squirters added.
85mm Wosener pistons, 11:1 compression.
Carillo rods.
Webb cams (The grind is close to a GE80).
40mm Weber’s
Early aluminum oil pump.
No oil leaks.
Light weight all-aluminum pressure plate from 71S.
Transmission is a 1971 901 with A, Ga, M, R, V gearing (no issues).

$25,000 w/ Docs substantiating build

Hi Michael,

The problem with small motors is that the people that are interested in them is a very small pool. They take a lot of money to build, but they do not produce a lot of HP compared to a similar cost to rebuild a 3.0 or 3.2. If you were willing to do a compression and leakdown test and post pictures along with the build information you would make it easier to sell. Unfortunately I would guess it's probably $7-12k depending on the right buyer who wants a smaller displacement engine.

Thanks guys. I don't have a build sheet. I can get leak down and compression testing. Appreciate it

Who did the build, head spec's, how many hours on the build, location?

Interesting thoughts... It might not appeal to the BaT RSR / Backdate Clientele but it definitely would appeal to the traditional long hood / 914 contingent... 200hp is more than enough for most street hot rods.

You are right Price is highly contingent on condition......

+1 without the documentation it will be hard to get more than ~12K, if the compression and leak down are good. That said, I agree that the cost of building these little displacement motors is 25-30K (it is what we paid) and most build 3.0’s to get the HP/$, but the sound and throttle response is unique.
