Do you think 7k is too steep for me to ask for this?

Default Do you think 7k is too steep for me to ask for this?

New aftermarket Ford Boss block

Aftermarket Forged crank, Eagle

Aftermarket Forged rods, Generic

Aftermarket Forged flat-top butterfly-cut pistons, 30 over thermal coated, I believe they're JE

Custom ground Bullet racing cam:
Duration at .050 230/228
Gross Valve Lift .565/.560

Double roller timing chain

Aftermarket Ford Racing lifters

Cometic Valve cover Gaskets

Victor Jr heads w/ upgraded springs, ARP head studs

Comp Cams Magnum Rocker arms & hardened pushrods

Victor Jr intake, powder coated black

Black Edelbrock valve covers

Hamburger deep oil pan, Mallory pickup

CSR electric water pump

Solid motor mounts

28oz imbalance SFI spec Pioneer balancer

28oz imbalance JW "The Wheel" SFI Spec 157 tooth flexplate

MSD Distributor (used briefly in another Mustang, bought brand new)

All ARP fasteners and all new quality brand-name(Fel-Pro, etc) gaskets, no cork BS. Many are reusable. Don't even know how much I spent on this misc crap, but it was a lot more.

Never been run. Sitting in my project car hooked up to a Pro Comp C4 right now, but never been cranked. All parts are NEW. ~9:1 compression was the goal, probably ended up a bit lower. Assembled by Eisley's machine shop, one of the most respected places here in Tampa at the time. This motor was built to handle the 1000+ HP turbo application I was using on my project car, before I decided to part the car out. This entire motor will go as a one-piece unit, no parting anything out.
I got some guy in my thread over on the Corral telling me that this is way overpriced. At first I was like typical Corral dbag, but I figured I'd double check with you gaggots. You think 7k is too much to expect for this setup?

Its worth what ever someone is willing to pay for it. The value is what ever you set it as.

Tell him to hold out his hand so you can shit in it. Then ask him what its worth.

No...I think you should sell it for $37 to me! (Thats what I have in my pocket right now. )

What Hurst said is correct. Whatever someone will pay, is what it is worth. You can list it for whatever you want to. However, to be fair, I would put the individual new prices of it all in there also for comparrison purposes. (i.e. if you buy it from me, it's 7k.....If you buy it all new, it's 13k)

Hurst

LMAO hahaha

Yeah i agree someone may be looking to build a motor just like yours and he save alot of money buying it from you... so he is willing to pay.


Honestly i think you are tiliting the over side of the scale but not by much maybe like a 7G obo might work out and see what you can work out. you will be shock how by putting 3 letters (obo) will increase the interest in your motor.

People aren't buying crap right now. You can't get 7k for clean 11 second cars right now much less motors.

Post it on the bullet. If anyone has ever had one machined, balanced and assembled by a machine shop start to finish, they realize how much it truely costs. Most dont and cant afford to do this and do a back yard build and think it can be done alot cheaper

Depends on what the car looks like that comes with it.

As mentioned above, it's worth whatever you are willing to let it go for...but that's only half of the equation. The other half is, "whatever someone is willing to pay for it." If those 2 things, match up, you have the true value of the car, widget, whatever. If they can never match up, then either the buyer, the seller or both are just daydreaming.

Not unless your shit is slower than my 12 second cruiser.

Thanks for the input, guys. I'm going to link prices to everything, maybe throw an OBO on there or drop is to 6500. That same douchebag is already in my thread talking shit about him and his son's 463 costing less....it ran 9.71. Comparing it to my properly built motor that is designed to push a car to high 8s on boost. Sometimes, I hate people.
