Value of Block

[D2 Cat]

I've got a 6.5 engine in my barn taking too much space. It's a 929 block, I'm pretty sure, cause the number is 12552929.

A guy heard I had it and wants to buy it. The heads were cracked from overheating, short block is there. Give me an idea of its value. Thanks.

So it's basically a short block that's usable?

If it's crack free, I would think you can get quite a bit for it. 929 blocks aren't supposed to be too bad.

Yards want 1500 for a good crack free 6.5 core around here. And that's a bare block. Not sure about your area.

If it's cracked in the main webs, or the cylinder liners, it's scrap.

Maybe a hundred or so if the crank, rods and pistons are still good.....

The pistons, crank and pan are still together. Usable? I don't know for sure. I'm not taking it apart to find out.

Start high, you can always come down. If you ask 500.00 and he jumps on it you made out. If he says I'll give you three, you made money and he thinks he stole it.

Your both happy!

I sold my old engine for 250. Real rusty and needed new heads(due to glows being rotted in), used ether to start it for a good 2 years...
