I'd shoot for somewhere between 4.5k-5k, but start higher. You never get exactly what you put into something.

I honestly think thats a bit high unless your including axles, wiring harness, and mounts. Thats my opinion though.

My suggested price to the OP would include everything you need to swap the motor, and drive the car.

What's the full build on it?

BC stage 4 cams, and stock pistons? Why? Your not making enough compression.

Any headwork to go with the cams/valvetrain?

If there are stock pistons, and NO headwork, I would say around 3k for what you have listed. It's basically a stock motor that's over-cam'd.

You also didn't mention the mileage on this. Nor compression test results and leak down results.

he did mention mileage. its 75k. but I agree a stock motor is much more desirable in this case. Id shoot to get around 3500-4. Modifications are a red flag to most. Im not saying you beat on the car but in my opinion in throws a red flag as to the reliability of the motor once its out. If you sell it completely stock and sell the other things outright you will make more money. A stock motor will sell for about 4500. sell all the other stuff and you will be much happier. Just my opinion though

Read his original post, it does NOT mention that the transmission is included. OP, is this the swap, or motor that is for sale?

And I did not say a stock motor is more desireable. Depending on whom the motor came from, documenation on build and things like that would be what I'd be after if I were purchasing a modified motor.

And stock motors for $4500? I hope you mean stock swap, and even then... GL, you can get JDM swaps with less mileage for less.

FWIW, OP if you need a starting/asking point. I sold an OEM longblock, 0 miles on it (my spare motor) for 3k. That was brand new from Honda with all paperwork on it. That should give you a reference point.

Also, please be clear is this just the motor, or complete swap with trans, axles and ECU?
