Let me get everyone's opinion on this. What would be a fair price on a short block with great compression. Looking to sell an extra one and don't know what its worth. What do you think?

if s4 maybe 500, s5 a little more maybe 700 tops, for these prices the engine should be clean not some oil mess covered with leaves (I'd say these are for unknown mileage engines) Obviously if you have a recently rebuild engine w/ paperwork or one with verifiable low miles that would increase the price.

Thanks, the block in question is out of a 87 GXL, unknown mileage. Bought the car for parts, wound up having to drive it around for a few months. Engine runs nice. Parted the car out due to rear end damage. Have had the block sitting around in my garage about a year and a half.

I sold an S4 for 350.

I would say $500.00 would be top dollar. It had better be clean and guaranteed to have compression at that price.

usually $350 for an S4 in running condition with unknown miles, it's on borrowed time if it's original and may not even survive the transplant.
