MusPuppis Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 This may not be the appropriate place to post this but I didnt see any place that seemed more fitting. I'd like a price check on an engine and transmission I have. I'm considering selling them to help pay for the cost of the air compressor I have to buy here soon but I really dont know whats fair to ask. (Fair to me and the buyer). Heres what I have: L24 out of my 72 Fairlady. Complete MINUS the carbs. Intake is still attached and I have the fuel rail but the carbs are gone and I need to keep the linkage. The bottom end has about 80k on it. The engine has been stored, in the car in a cool dry storage facility out of the elements for the last 5 years, rotated a couple times a year. The head was pulled and rebuilt by a local machine shop as well as decked and cleaned up, looks brand spanking new. New oil pressure unit, new fuel pump, new starter, new cap and rotor, new 8mm Accell plug wires, chrome valve cover(a little worn but still looks good), new water pump and a header (I dont know the brand, its a long tube and rusted and ugly, but in perfect working order.). The engine is clean. Also, when I say "new" items I mean they have less than 1k miles on them. 5 Speed transmission is out of a 76 280z. Newer clutch (has about 25k on it) the transmission has around 130k on it. Shifts well, never had any problems out of it. No leaks that I'm aware of. No shift knob. (I used the Fairladys original and am keeping it). Pics can be provided if required. One I have on hand atm is below. I'm just curious as to what a fair asking price would be for this motor and transmission. If its not much (I know not having the carbs is a major downer) I'll just hold on to it but being decidely broke but very eager to get the 240 resto underway I'm trying to atleast explore my options. Edit, You can see the back of the air cleaner in the pic, that is all I have. The rest was lost somehow or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 ~$300 and thats optimistic, I bought a complete turbo car for $400 and I dont think the market is real hot for L24s, but the 5spd has more of a market on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
