Price check is aisle 1911 Options

Assume you have a good bottom end from a 1.7 and then, just to make something crazy up, you do a 1911 build using good parts from the go-to vendors at a 914 tech day(s).

What is the resulting 1911 worth as a long block?

[Mblizzard]

If it has 1.7 heads say $1000.

Thanks.

Won't the heads be replaced with bigger ones? What if all of the top is new / bigger tobgwt tothe 1911 size?

Are you building it up just to build and flip it or do you plan installing and sell in the future?

Depends on what you value your labor at, it is easy to add up the cost of all the parts. You can do a bare bones rebuild or sink some serious cash into pretty quickly.

People want to see receipts when talking rebuilt motor. I'd go though the classifieds and search for engine sales. Figure that the 1.7/1.8 engines alone can be found free to a few hundred dollars.


You might get lucky and find a buyer right away or you could be sitting on for months. McMark gets $5k+ for a fully documented 2056 build, I don't think he would charge that much less for a 1911 build. All the replacement parts cost more or less the same.
