I have a complete 2.0L motor from a '73 914 that I'm considering selling on ebay and I was wondering what a fair price is for the motor? The motor turns over freely by hand and I have all of the original fuel injection components but the MAP sensor is no longer good and it will definitely need new injectors.

I sold a complete 2.0 drivetrian out of a 73 for $1300. It was a good running motor I had driven before. It was good deal I thought as it was a turn key motor. It sold quickly so that must mean something.

As was said above probably $500 is max without more info on it. Unless it's parted out that is. In which case you will get more probably. Your other issue will be shipping from Canada. Trying to ship the whole motor will most likely be cost prohibitive. Best of luck however you go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

In your case, I bleieve $500 is what you are looking at for a 2.0L with no history. I sold a 1.8 that had been recently rebuilt by GTX with Wber 40's. It didn't turn over (the weather was probably a contributor) , but it did try to start a few months earlier. I got $600 for it. The buyer later told me he lubricated the P&C's and it started after a dizzy replacement.

Right now, it seems a lot of product for sale is selling slow. Look on ebay and Clist to see what things are going for and what is really being paid. That will tell you a lot.
