Help me price up a forged short block
 
I recently bought a V3 STI with headgasket failure due to bottom rad hose coming off and draining the engine of coolant.
Bought the car, pulled forged engine out and fitted cheap CDB engine from an RA and moved it on.

Now i'm left with this engine and haven't a clue what to price it for, for a quick sale.
What price should I be asking? and also the V3 heads I've read are worth a little more than the std WRX heads due to cam profile, value of them?

Can you prove the engine is forged?

coleman 08 December 2013 05:28 PM

4K build receipt and the heads are off revealing the Wossner pistons

I was thinking £600 for both ? Too much?

£300 for the bottom end ? You'll get 300 for your heads separately.

I don't think the bottom end is worth £300.
Heads £250 max but with that history more like £200.

PADDYHOEY 09 December 2013 08:35 PM

We'll I'll offer £275 delivered for the bottom end ??

If the block runs well and has no damage then its easily worth £500, its had a new crank, bearings, oil pump and forged pistons fitted so with the exception of the rods it should be a strong reliable block if looked after correctly.

Probably do £350 delivered on the engine
