324 Rocket motor

Okay, I know a lot of y'all hate these "what's it worth" questions but I seriously have no idea what a running 324 is worth. It is from a 55 88 and it was running when the guy took it out. (I have seen it run) It did not smoke and sounded good.
Anybody care to put a price on it? I'm thinking $1000 but like I said, I have no idea.

Thanks.

 

half that

 

Can you start it and run it if someone asks? If so 500. If your asking a stranger to take your word"it ran great when it was pulled", then a few hundred less is what you should expect to get for it...

 

That's what I'm thinking..........$1000 is way too much, $ 500 would be much more reasonable.

As long as the seller and the buyer are happy with the agreed upon value (price). On the other hand, price out a rebuilt 324 --- better be sitting down!
If an engine runs fine, I would replace the freeze plugs, gaskets and seals before installing it in a vehicle. Saves much aggravation latter on.

 

Can't find one in the Northeast for less than a grand, as in "good running/no blowby", etc.

 

Thanks for the info, based on what y'all posted I think I will hold onto it and put it to use someday.

 

Ummm... You might want to tape your ears back some...

 

Big ears in the breeze help cool me down, at high speed I do tape them back.

 

Yep! Less wind resistence(sp?)..

If it were a 56 324 it might be worth a little more as the 56 engines had better head design, but I would agree 500 is about right.
