Trans is Worth $50 if you find someone who needs it, Good Luck. Tear the engine down an sell the good housing and Rotor, maybe $100 but I would say less. Carb is worth $30 to $50 if it is good or as a core. Sell the Bad rotor and houseing as a display, You may have good luck here people offten want them. Plates are $25 each, Sell them cheep for $10 each for porting practice.

Good luck, I have 3 engines in the same shape. If you gave it away you would still have problems becuse it costs so much to ship.

How much is fair for a running 12a and trans? The 12a only manages 85 PSI compression and the trans is a little crotchety (shifts notchy).

I was thinking about selling my drivetrain and moving to something more powerful.

With the Compression low it will not be worth much, I would say $100 if you find someone that needs one.
