V6 value

I have a '79 3.8 V6, out of my latest project. has METRIC on the oil pump cover.

it was runing when yanked out of the car.

it's a 2 barrel setup.would it be worth anything , besides scrap?

 

No, not worth much.

 

How many miles are on the motor? Is it complete, carb to pan? where are you located in Kansas? Let me know, Randy

 

PM coming

 

I sold my 67 225 v6 to a jeep guy for $400.00 they have a web site american jeep club try to google it you never know

 

That's a short port 3.8L evenfire motor. Really not worth all that much since its not as good as the later tall port 3.8Ls that are stronger and more plentiful. Remember the Buick V6 (198cid, 225cid, 231cid, 252cid, 3.3L, 3.0L, and the new 3800 Series I and II/III) is the second most numerous engine GM ever made behind the SBC.

 

well, guess I'll let the local scrap guy come for it

 

I would be intrested in the dist if you want to sell it.

 

Good call, those non-computer even fire distributors are valuable comodity for those people wanting to go back to simpler times or run a FAST system on thier Turbo6's after they solve the surpentine belt issue.

 

what do those distributors go for complete??
