I've got a 5.0 I pulled out of a Mustang I bought, and want to sell the chassis alone and put the drivetrain in a different Mustang, or maybe another Ford musclecar or truck, but I MIGHT sell the motor if I find a car or truck I like that just happens to have a bigger or better motor. So I want to ask what this is worth so I don't ask too low and screw myself out of money, or ask too high and get flamed by everyone.

Below is the text I made in a local forum to advertise it for sale, so any pointers on a price would be appreciated.

I have this drivetrain I pulled from an 86 Mustang of mine.

It does run, I heard it run before I bought the car. I removed it from the car and removed the oil pan to double check some things. There was barely any sludge on the bottom of the pan. Just a little bit by the 2 sumps on the Fox body pan, and I scraped that out. There are no loose rod ends indicating spun bearings, the oil is plenty black still and not milky from water being mixed in or anything. The engine is clean and ready to rock. Here are some details:

306 roller motor
E303 cam with Ford Racing roller lifters
Brand new water pump
Brand new oil pump
New front and rear seals with the motor regasketed
Mac long tubes (with an H-pipe, also more than likely a Mac)
New double roller timing chain
Some porting on the stock heads
Weiand Stealth intake
Holley 600cfm carb
Mallory Unilite Comp something-er-other distributor
MSD Blaster 2 coil
Chrome valve covers

New clutch and pressure plate, not even broken in yet
Pro 5.0 shifter
Brand new Ford Motorsport throwout bearing, no miles
New speedometer cable, no miles
Steeda double hook quadrant (used)
5.0 Resto firewall adjuster

Anyone want to chime in? Some local guys have said $600ish for the motor, and $200-300 for the tranny. Some say a little over $1000 for the entire tranny and motor together, I just want to get a general consensus of value before I sell it.

local guys sound about right, post it on craigslist for 1k and see what happens

Right on. I talked to a local Mustang guy and he said for the entire package, because of things like the longtubes and the nice Mallory distributor, to start asking $1200 obo for the package and go from there. It's a good thing I asked, I had it listed at $800 obo for the entire thing, but also put a note on there that if I found out the engine was worth way more, I'd adjust my price. Anyways, thanks for the help.
