Is This Worth It? (Trade Engine)

sonicblue · October 14th, 2006, 02:43 AM

basically i am planning on building my motor anyways...this guy i know needs to rebuild his 4.6 and instead of doing that he offered to buy my motor thats in my car since i plan on rebuilding it for a supercharger.so he wants my longblock and hes going to give me his longblock and 3000$.seems perfect cause its not gonna cost me much more to build my block and get new heads and cams. what do you all think??? he wants my motor cause its only got 16k on it.

ChrisJ · October 14th, 2006, 02:45 AM

What is done to his motor? Is his motor stock too?

sonicblue · October 14th, 2006, 02:49 AM

yea its stock with some miles on it.but doesnt really matter cause its gonna get torn down and rebuilt with a stroker kit.thats what i was gonna do with my motor anyways.might as well make some money to use towards buidling this. the only thing i am gonna use his long block for is the block.i will be getting all new internals and heads and cams.

ChrisJ · October 14th, 2006, 04:28 AM

That will cost more then 3K...

You looking at shelling out of your pocket around 2K I would say...

But if you can afford your car being down like that then go for it...

sonicblue · October 14th, 2006, 11:46 AM

yea i know it will cost more than 3k and i got another vehicle to get around in till i get all the parts i need. i was just thinkin it made sense since either way i was going to be tearing mine apart to make it stronger and since this guys gonna gice me some money for mine.anyone else got an opinion?

Say goodbye to your warranty though...

But a built motor is always goodtimes...

sonicblue · October 14th, 2006, 12:12 PM

thats ok the warranty is up at the end of the year anyways. and my plans are a s/c so i would like a built motor so i can tap into all the power and not worry as much

mdvaldosta · October 14th, 2006, 01:02 PM

Damn that guy's crazy to give you $3k for your stock engine when you can get a new (or near new) one for less than that.

sonicblue · October 14th, 2006, 01:46 PM

yea thats what im thinkin....

itschristorres8 · October 14th, 2006, 01:50 PM

screw him...get a new one man. (srry if hes your friend or w/e but if he is thats worse then cuz hes ripping you off)

im looking a mustang magzine selling stroked motors from $1,249- $2599

sonicblue · October 14th, 2006, 01:57 PM

how is he ripping me off?you cant buy a stroked motor for that.u may buy a stroker kit for that price.....if you can show me a link please.alls i need to build my motor is a block so why not sell the good parts from mine that i wont be using and take his block from him and 3k dollars.

U must be looking at the stroker kits...I have not seen a stroker short block for under 3k...

Drgnracin72 · October 15th, 2006, 01:19 PM
