I would not think more than $1000, even if you give the wiring harness, and ECM......the transmission swap is worth more than the engine and stuff. Alot of guys sell 305TBI complete for $300-$600.

The TPI might sell for a couple hundred with everything - harness, sensors, ECM, etc. A complete T-5 setup about the same, assuming you're keeping the pedals and hydraulics. The 305 itself is dead weight.

I've been trying to sell mine for a few weeks now since I started gutting my car. About the only thing they are good for is a cheap replacement for someone with a B-body, truck or another F-body that isn't going to be built for speed.

the only thing thats worth any thing is the T5.. no one really wants a TBI engine, you might be able to sell the short block, then part out the rest of the system on ebay. i think thats your best bet.

if its a World Class T5.. i would say 3-400, depending on what you are giving with it.

Egads, I misread bigtime.

TBI - not worth much at all. Engine even less.

Save the 305 TBI and put it in the back part of your garage. You could even clean it up and put it into your house as a conversation piece. That is about all it is worth. Even with the low miles. If you are ambitious you can find an old S10 and swap it in. 305 TBI's in those little S10's are a great daily driver with a great power to weight ratio.

I was thinking of doing that to my S15, but I sold the harnesses and ECM. And then a few days later my 4 banger decides to start letting go lol.
