Store it or sell it? 13BT engine and drivetrain.

How much does a rebuilt motor go for? I paid 4K installed, but pulled it out after my wreck......less than 18000 miles on it.........13BT........I am weighing options because I cannot do my GTUs swap.......I have two choices......store it or sell it........along with the entire drivetrain.

unless youre planning on using it, you might as well sell it, alot of NA guys are looking to do the TII swap. i might be interested in purchasing it, if youre willing to sell.

Well, if you store it, you just need to make sure you maintain it while it's being stored. Crank it by hand every once in a while, make sure you've got oil in the cylinders to keep those seals fresh. Hang on to and swap it into a future car.

I've got a buddy looking to do a 1st gen install, he'd use the engine and transmission and maybe the SAFC And all that too... but he can pick up a good J-Spec like I did for around $1100 with the trans.
