fair value of a 454 bb?

yellowjacket · 08-01-2011, 06:52 PM

What's realistic value of good running but stock 454 motor? Checked cl but It varies, so figured get realistic answers here. I may be puttin one up for sale shortly. But don't want to be THAT guy on cl who thinks he's got gold but never sells... its a 89 tbi with 80k if that helps

Ive seen that motor sell as cheap as $350 and as much as $1500. A lot of your price will depend on what heads it has on it, peanut, oval or square port... Run the block and head numbers, see what it is exactly.

Are all the efi components included ?.. all accessories?

The tbi BBC's where very plentiful and pretty low on the performance chart , peanut port heads choke the life out them! ..

I bought a good running TBI motor with unknown miles for $750 , and I heard it run before I handed over any cash.

Yeah I'm sure of them all, the truck tbi ones prob are the bottom of the barrel. Yeah all efi junk and I intend on leaving it in truck for buyer to hear run before I pull.

750 fair then?
