280z4me2 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 We have a local pull-a-part with some nice engines to choose from. Website says its like $150.00 for a v8. I was curious if they break down the priceing and charge you for intakes, valve covers, alternator, a/c.... I tried calling them but there are no direct numbers, just hotlines with info. Anyone ever pulled a motor from the yard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twentyfourouncer Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 They usually have one price for a complete long block engine w/no transmission, torque converter, etc. and then individual pricing on all the pieces if you buy them seperately. You are almost always going to do better buying the complete engine if you need more than one major component from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280z4me2 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Im really looking for a bolt in swap. I know I would be charged for wiring harness and computer. But I was curious if they charge for alternator, water pump, a/c compressor, tension pullys, upper lower intake, air intake tube.... All of the small pieces that would nickle and dime you to death.

kiwi303 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 If you're looking for a bolt in, I'd look on ebay and Craiglist for a running, reliable rustbucket. In a JY others are likely to have pulled bits off already, and it it's running when you buy it, then you know it should run after the swap.
