What's it worth, thread.. 914-6 motor and trans Options

[Racer]

Someone asked me what the value is to their original, 914-6 motor and trans. I was also asked if these would be worth more together or separated. The motor came with the car years ago and hasn't been run in a long time, so obviously determining if it works greatly impacts value.

Anyone willing to post some price ranges for the items? Also, what would the carbs be worth on their own (they were recently rebuilt and used on another motor)?

Thanks!

only my opinion

to the person who wants to have a numbers matching motor in the original chassis then the value is high...

obviously your friend is not that person and not intending to use his car a show car, concours toy.

So given that your market is no longer someone trying to build a numbers matching car.

I'd say 500-1000 for the motor
another 300-500 for the tranny

I didn't understand if you were or were not selling the carbs
the IDT carbs are the least desireable of the webbers, and have some passages in them that are more restrictive (for a performance application) than the IDA's
If your selling the carbs, that is another 1200-1400, again depending completely on the throttle shaft wear (not something that is addressed in a standard rebuild)

sorry if those numbers feel low
but its the truth

I don't think these cars have reached collector status that would make your block valuable by number (in the way a 1973 911S block holds its value)

you have a core motor with the least desireable heads, block, cylinders of all of the 911 motors ever made.

you have a tranny with a valuable 2nd gear mainshaft
