is this Engine worth 4k? what do you guys think? Not mine just want to know if it is worth it.. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/2561549533.html Im selling it..... I was hoping to drop it in a skylark, wildcat, or riviera but as I have yried to hold on.... I neeed cash. $4,000 is a deal as it sits,but im still open for business. I wouldnt even consider $2500, so dont try. I will sell my van or truck before I do that!!!! Buick entheusiasts only recognize whats online right now.... Everything is stamped kenne bell.... Valve covers, rocker arms, rod arms etc. balanced n blueprinted motor, thats all kenne bell did.. Race motors. Its a nasty motor. Not the nicest looking motor, but real racers never are!!!!! Oil gullies were done, EVERYTHINGS PORTED N POLISHED, I got a set of stage 1 factory headers on it as well.... Dont waste your time or mine with bs offers. Big boy toys cost big boy bucks!!!! 455 BIG BLOCK KENNE BELL!!!!
First of all, post stuff like this on "the bench" unless you're selling it yourself. Secondly, it's pretty obvious the person who listed this doesn't know anything about a big block Buick or they would have listed about ten pages or more of detail as to what's been done to the engine. The valve covers are worth maybe $200 unless they're beat up too badly, the Kenne-Bell roller rockers are obsolete. Even if the seller can post a detailed build sheet, there's no way to know the condition of any part of that engine, so dismiss it. That block can be full of good stuff, but if the machine work was shoddy, it may be junk. Devon
Maybe I'm wrong but is this section of V8 not for items for sale that you don't own? It's a place to pass along info. on cars or parts that some of us might be interested in.
This thread was moved to the correct section after I posted. It was previously in "parts for sale", sorry for the confusion. Devon
