Wanting to do a swap, but dont know what my current motor is worth
first: I have a built 383 with a brand new supercharger, but its pretty much he says she says when it comes to the intermals of the motor. I have had a mechanic out here in Buffalo NY @ k&s auto install a new comp cam and lifter set.. the car has 32xxx origional miles, and I dont know what the motor has.
second: I bought a new Paxton SN-2000 supercharger and put 40 miles on it.
The question is I want to part with this and just go crate 350.. Anyone have an idea what I can sell this for on craigslist? I dont know what to compare them to, the supercharger is brand new pretty much, but the motor I am lost.. Thanks guys..
MODS: if this is in the wrong section I am sorry, this is the best spot I could find.. Thanks

would you be selling the engine with or without the supercharger?

I guess whatever comes first or will make me the most money.. I have 3900 in recipts and since drove 40 miles but I know I will not get that
Re: Wanting to do a swap, but dont know what my current motor is worth
I suggest www.racingjunk.com and look around to get some ideas.
Why not just remove the FI and go NA with what you have? or is there something going on with the 383 that you don't want it?

Re: Wanting to do a swap, but dont know what my current motor is worth
you'd probably make more money if you sold the supercharger and engine separately. the supercharger you might get ~$2500, $3000 possibly.
the engine, would it be long block or complete engine intake to oil pan? if its a complete engine, then maybe $3000-$3500
either way make sure you clean everything up, you'd definetly get more money if its all clean

You think I can get that much for that motor without knowing any history?

absolutely not. Nor would you get that much for the s/c

I have to get bigger injectors(i have stock 19lb) and I guess I will just stick with my motor, since I have never went from TPI to carb and am considering it, what would you guys suggest going with? What kind of $$ and kits are we talking? any suggestions? thanks guys

Pull the pan to see about the stroke...or the heads. Gotta know what you have first.
