do people buy rebuilt motors usually??

Story of my life I swear. Fed up with my truck, just not working out. I want something with a stock suspension that is able to be bagged. Mazda, s10, whatever it may be.

I have a fully rebuilt, 306 (302 bored .030) and it has bigger valves and all that crap. I have about 1800 into it, after new fuel pump and all that garbage. Anyways.....do people buy rebuilt motors for anywhere near what I payed? It was built by a shop, with a years warrantty.....still have like 7 months on it. I just want to change directions and don't know if I am stuck with a motor I don't really "need" but COULD use....

It would really fund a different build if the truck was running, even if shitty.

I had like 2 grand into my small block, that came with a dyno sheet that proved 380 horse. I sold it for $1200 with a 700R4 out of a running vehicle. You'll never get what you have into it. Cut it in half and start there, thats about what you can expect.

since you wont get a lot for it.. just store it, use it for a project you get the patience for it. no reason to throw it to someone else when later on you could get an itch andhave it laying around.

grant how much would you be lookin to get for it...i assume its carbed.

well, if i keep it, i dont have money for something else. right now anyways. and if the truck stays in the garage, it will get worked on......leaving me broke once again haha. if i store it, im storing the 9 inch rear as well and just sell the truck cheap i guess. who knows. i will figure it out.

yes, its carbed. i dont know, id hope to get atleast a grand, but thats being lucky from what is said in this thread. PM me and we can talk. If it's for the Ranger, I may can work something out for you.

well my brother is puttin a 4.6l in he ranger...i was lookin for the 4runner but if i could talk him into goin with a carbed motor thats built he may be interested and i will take his 4.6l...i personally would rather have a EFI motor....do you know how difficult it owuld be to full iject that motor if at all?

you can do it, i believe its the same as any other EFI 5 litre.... That being said, understand I know jack about motors. It's NOT a roller motor, but I guess that really doesn't matter? I can ask the guys on the truck forum and see. Id guess its the intake/computer/harness, but let me make sure.

Or just get a Mooneyes EFI kit for it.

Edelbrock probably makes something too.
