Engine Soon 2B F/S, In &r Out Buggers? Options

[forrestkhaag]

I am on the cusp of selling my fully operational 2.2L 4 engine as my 6 is nearing completion as of last night's work into the wee hours...

I am wondering what it might be worth in the market place. I will be selling it with the 2.0 headers and a new SS banana muffler & bracket, etc., clutch, flywheel, t/oB, etc.

This engine burns no appreciable oil and it has well tuned Weber knockoff Empi 40 dual carbs on it which are jetted for a range of altitudes between zero and 7K feet.

The other advantage after experiencing the 1.7 that this engine replaced, as I see it is, it is a hydraulic lifter engine which virtually eliminates the constant valve tuning required of a hard lifter engine build. This is, of course, personal preference and in my case, I bought the engine built that way so that I could drive it almost daily, verses work on it almost daily......

As many of you know, it has participated in many out of state drives and in-state shows and coastal romps with unfettered performance between my home at sea level to the mountains at 6-7K altitude.

I am thinking it may be beneficial to leave the engine in the car until it is sold so that if needed, a potential buyer could come by for a ride in all RPM ranges and under different loads / just to see how nice this little monster really is. Or conversely, take some good films of it running if that will suffice.

What is the going rate for such a thing? I am in a position to ship this engine on a pallet with the exhaust removed for obvious scale-of-shipment issues.

Any positive thoughts are welcome.
