401 worth

[dwg86]

I really don't want to...but money is tight and Christmas is coming. I am THINKING about selling my spare 401. Standard bore and crank. What's it worth?

Well if your located in the Michigan area it's only worth about $50. I'll be over to pick it up tonight!

Just kidding.......I recently paid $350 for a complete 1978 401 w/std bore and crank, that I knew turned over by hand, but of unknown condition other than I knew it was in normal rebuildable condition....worse case. I had to drive 5-6 hrs each way and pull it from the truck. I thought I got a pretty good deal. I wouldn't take less than $500. That seems to be the minimum going rate around here for a rebuildable one....if you can find one.

Where you located?

Please say you are in Colorado??

I am in Atlanta Ga. I really don't want to sell just yet(trying to get some overtime), but I may have to. Its my spare just incase I grenade the one in my Jeep....or build a stroker Gremlin.

Complete stock with stock carb flexplate, pulleys, valve covers, etc I'd say $700.
Correct matching casting date heads etc.
A '73 or older especially since they're screw in rocker heads.

For someone restoring a 401 car anyways.

If stock pieces are missing, then less.

We got one with all of the above plus a TF999 and a Dana 300 hanging on it for $500. Not as good as the deals some of you got, but not too bad either. It's an early one too with the individual rocker studs.

so did you decide to sell

[dwg86]

Well, right now I am getting a little overtime, so I am hoping not to. But the kids come first. I'll post in the "for sale" if I have to sell.

Thanks

Just last summer a guy gave me an old waggie with a 401, just for hauling it away.
