Spam: Parts for Sale

[Speedin' Ian]

I have this advertised in the Gear Head section but that forums doesn't get much action so I thought I'd put it in here:
I am building a new motor which means I have a bunch of parts I want to sell.
1 fresh 4 bolt block 60 over with billet mains = $600.00
- this thig was just checked out and it got a fresh bill of health, just needs cam bearings
1 LS7 crank, internally balanced, but needs to be turned = 300.00
1 set of dimple rods, need to be resized = 200.00
1 set of TRW blower pistons, pins need to be resized = 200.00
1 4 bolt block 60 over with studs (this is the one with 2 o-rings) = 400.00
1 Clay Smith roller cam (lifter failed so this may not be worth anything )
All these parts except for the cam and block with two o-rings were checked for cracks and came ack good. Any ideas on what this stuff is worth?

I dont think it's worth much at all.
How much for the crank and rods? :D

[Speedin' Ian]

Not much at all huh? :D
If I didn't know better I'd say your trying to pull a fast one on me. Maybe a third party would be willing to throw some numbers out there as I have no idea what it's worth. I know what my new parts cost, can I charge the same ;)

Ask the guys in the machine shop you are using, they should know what the stuff is worth.

[Speedin' Ian]

Good Idea I will call them tomorrow and get a rough idea.

[Moneypitt]

If these blocks are already .060 over, how can they be bored to the next owners .060 pistons?? Does that mean they would have to be bored/honed to .090 pistons?...........So what are they worth as they are now? I don't know how far you can bore a MK IV safely, and the odds of them being the right size for the next set of .060 pistons is slim........MP

[Speedin' Ian]

Well one of the blocks has a fresh bore so it is ready for a 060 over piston, the other one would work assuming it just needs a light hone. Then again I have no idea what I'm talking about :wink: , so maybe some one can tell us if a 060 over block is worth anything

[UPtight]

I will sponser you for one night at the Red Dog in thade for all of it :crossx:
I'll PM you the details.

[Moneypitt]

Ian, normally a block is bored per piston, each hole is to each piston. Different pistons require different clearances, if the block was bored to a piston that likes alot of clearance, then it couldn't be right for a set of closer clearanced pistons.....It doesn't mean it isn't worth as much, just gotta be careful which pistons are used. Ask the shop for actual bore measurements....MP......I may be interested.........

[Fiat48]

Moneypitt...did you ever get that race motor apart and figure what let go?

That block can be punched out to 482ci. .......

Yeah providing it's a very EARLY one!.. ;)

[Speedin' Ian]

I added prices to everything on the 1st post. As far as taking it to the machine shop, I will leave that to the buyer. Like I said I just had the crank rods and pistons checked out and they are in good shape, no cracks. Sangerboy had the block with billet caps checked before we bought it, so all it needs is to be set-up for your pistons (to give you an idea my 060 TRW's would not fit) and it needs cam bearings.

Not to scare ya but do you know this guy??..If you don't know the history of them, better get them magged and even if they pass mag, you still don't know what they been thru!..Something to think about!..

You mean as in a $75.00 hand grenade?? Turn the key/pull the pin, and count... :D :coffeycup

Bushed rods (as he has) are also more desireable. I sold a set a few years back and I think it was about $250. But they were known good rods. Sold a block for Justin that he paid $550 for and was glad to get it..then changed direction. Got his $550 back. Nice clean 4 bolt and never hurt. The guy who wound up buying it had bought another block that was junk for $750! All he could find in the area. 454 steel crank core used to be worth $250 easy...not sure now with the aftermarket. But internal balance a big plus. Mag ticket and from someone you know always a plus. Pistons are always tough...no real market. Kind of a throw them in with the block dealio to the right guy.
Long beach is the place to buy but not everybody can get there cost effectively.

[Speedin' Ian]

Hey guys I appreciate the feed back, like I stated before I had no idea what this stuff was worth so this helps. When I get some free time I will take into account what everyone has said and adjust prices. Also feel free to make offers!

I agree with you 100%. I have also learned that when sellers are ask'd about condition of parts the ansewr is almost always the same...LIKE NEW :D
I dont trust anyone I dont know unless it's a shop or somthing.
rod's started out at $150(8:00am) then at noon $75:00. but even at $150
rod's are still suspect. Rods are out of a 502 and look like new but will be checked anyway.
