Default Fully "Built for Boost" B16a

----Fully build B16a----
This motor was build by KG Precision Engineering, in fact, it's still at their shop and has NEVER been used. I will do my best to remember everything thats done so forgive me if I've missed somthing. Specifics are as follows:
-B16 Shortblock-
Resurfaced deck
Benson sleeves
Micropolished/Chanfered crank
Balanced/Blueprinted
Crower rods
Arias pistons
New clearanced bearings and thrust washers


-VTEC Head from 95 Delsol-
Resurfaced
Deburred combustion chambers
3 angle valve job
Custom grind Web Cams (setup for forced induction)
Completely ported and polished
Stainless steel undercut and swirl polished intake/exhaust valves
Titanium retainers and High rev. springs


-Misc.-
Skunk2 Cam gears
Ported Type-r intake
Ported throttle body
Has fittings for Turbo feed/return lines
Has fittings for Oil pressure gauge
ARP Head studs
ARP Main studs
Comes with All sensors and Distributor


-----PRICES-----
The motor is a quandry for which I am still seeking resolution. Im in the process of gathering up exactly how much it has cost me to build and then I will know exactly how much I need to get out of it. The shop (where the motor still sits) is located in California so you will need to estimate shipping costs from there. Im fairly certain that $5000 is a fair price for this motor, please contact me with any offers.

Am I asking too much or do the more expensive items simply not generate much response (in your experience)?

$5K is a lot of money for a built B16 motor, which is probably why you are't getting many responses. Most people here are looking for "deals" and probably won't touch a built B16 for much more than $2500... good luck tho!

To be honest, I dont follow the logic on this. The first thing I wonder is, how many people sell motors that are brand new never been in a vehicle? If I had this in my car already then I would ask for quite a bit less, but its never seen an engine compartment. I know what I've got into the motor and it's certainly more than 5K, thus, I dont understand how this isn't a "deal".

On another note, when you say "Complete B16b" for 4500, what is included with that but not with mine? and where do you get it for that matter? I ask not to be cynical but rather because I honestly dont know. Thanks to the both of you for your input and I hope to hear back from you soon.

let the dude sell and dont bother. no one goes into your classifieds and flames you. If he wants 5000 then let him sell it for that much.
Good luck selling bro.

Thanks everyone for your support, and if I offended anyone with my last post I do apoligize, it was honestly not intended. Believe me when I say I wish i were not in the situation of "having" to sell my motor AND my car, but I am, and it blowz goats. If anyone is truly interested in the motor, please dont hesitate to call. Even if we disagree on what the price should be, I will never be upset with someone who calls to make an offer. Thanks again for your time and patience.

-Steve
