Icon2 Should I sell my D15B or part it out?

I have a D15B non-vtec, with a carbed head that some one put a multi-port intake mani. on.
I really don't need this engine but I could use some cash. So do you think it would sell better all together or to part it out?

Sell it as an engine. Its not really worth a whole lot either way though.

make an ad in the newspaper, local forum etc w.e floats your boat. if that motor was mine, it would be in the scrap yard. people always need an engine.

its a jdm. but everyone that calls is wanting something off it, so thats why I was thinkin
of just parting it out. thanks for the advice, anyone else?

thats what I thought at first, but i guess its a carbed head. that place is for a
fuel pump. someone must of put the multi-port on it before i got it.

yeah man, carbed, (as in carburated).I thought the same thing, but a vtec solenoid has
three bolts, as were this head has only two. plus the plugs are towards the back not the
front. & everyone so far is telling me it is a old carbed D15B non-vtec.

Yes, older dual carbed setup. The mechanical fuel pump bolts to those 2 studs on the head.

It very definitely isn't.

Heres a pic of the fuel pump on an engine pulled from a thread on D-series.org

Just sell it as a whole for a good deal
though you may want to include a clutch and flywheel package cuz that thing is RUSTY
