I have a couple guys interested in buying my 12 5.0 block that had the #8 failure. How much should I sell it for?


Thanks.

 

$300

 

Don't think I can get more for it?

 

Ask $500 and you have some wiggle room to bargain to where you are most comfortable.

 

Take it all apart and sell all the parts on e-bay. You'll be making a bunch more $$$ .

 

Just the bare block or a whole motor???

 

The shortblock.

 

Is the piston melted? Cylinder wall scored?

 

Okay, yeah, how much it's worth depends on how bad off it is.

 

Pics and the condition!

 

Here's a pic of the #8 piston. I'll have more pics up when I receive them.

 

The condition of the cylinder wall is the most important.

That piston is trash and if it scored the cylinder wall then it will need a new sleeve and that will cost plenty making the block worth that much less.

 

Thanks!

There are a couple more pics in my thread about the issue. When my car is ready ( maybe tomorrow) I'll take more pics.

 

Let me know how much you're willing to sell it for... I just started on a 4.6 stroker build... but I can always switch over :P

 

Whats it worth as scrap? Find out....then ask for more than that.

 

It's not scrap guys. Even the engine builder 20+ years and designed engines for Ford says the cylinder wall is clean the block is still good. Just need to replace the # 8 piston and it's rods.

Just got the car back today!!!! Thanks to Blue Collar Performance in Westland MI!

 

In that condition, $650 isn't a bad asking price. The cylinder wall looks to be in pretty good shape. The piston and rod, not so much.

 

Enjoy breaking that bad boy in!!

 

Nah!! Leave that to Brenspeed

 

May they go down in infamy for their FAIL!
