Stock IROC motor $$

How much is my stock IROC 305 worth? Its a TPI motor with 114000 miles on it. As far as I know its all stock never touched!
I am considering selling it (without TPI unit)

Just the longblock, Pretty Much Nothing.

Not in a performance sense, anyway. You might be able to get 50$ for it to Some guy with a blown Motor.


Just mY take on it, anyway. If I had one I didnt need I would just give it away... ( Oh yeah, I did )

305 core with those miles. Not more than a couple hundred and that's if you're lucky enough to find someone looking for a 305.

they make Nice planters.

And the cranks make Cool Mailbox stands.

Personally, I would keep it around complete as a "oh **** i blew my motor" engine.

I don't know if your roc is your daily driver, but for me it would be comferting to have a running longblock In the garage for that day that I spin it to 6 one time too Many.
