What\'s a good 258 worth?

I'm not too far from my 5.0 swap and my local jeep restorer wants to know how much money I'll take for my engine. It was a complete crate motor in '97 now with 35,000 miles on it. Clifford cam, valve cover, and weber carb. Runs perfect, don't know what these things are worth.

start high and take offers. i'd ask about $1000-$1200. i know its hard to get a good motor, cam ($150), Valve cover ($100), and carb ($350) for less than that. also depends on what its worth to you? hope this helps! matt

I gave away a perfectly good running 85 258 about 5 months ago. Of course the one I rebuilt and replace it with was given to me! /wwwthreads_images/icons/cool.gif

Depends if you can find someone that is looking for one, find the right person and you could probably get a 1k for it, I had a '78 that I finaly had to give away...
