Default What to do with my 96 V6 engine, 66k miles?

I tried selling it locally but haven't had much luck. Is it easy to ship an engine if I'd list it on ebay or something? Has anyone had experience with it?

The engine has 66k miles and I was trying to get $500 for it...I've had a $300 offer but that just seem to cheap to let it go?

Did you swap it or something?

Those motors aren't what I'd call "desirable"

I sold my F22B1 w/tranny for only $250

v6 swap are becoming more common..... but that's still doesn't mean it will sell at all.

My best bet is try to trade it for a d or b series motor or other aftermarket parts that you can later resell for cash.
but that's just me....

This isn't a J series though, it's the C series. I don't think I've seen a single C series swap.

yeah, those are going the way of the A-series from the early accords... i would take the $300 offer if i were you. the fact that someone is willing to pay more than scrap value for it is pretty good.

you could try listing it places like Ebay but i doubt you'll get many bidders willing to pay $300 and shipping cost. it's kinda a gamble. up to you.

Thought these were just kinda rare...guess I'd have to get lucky with someone that needs a direct replacements.

Tranny is pretty much worthless too I guess?
