How much?

What do you think I could get for a ported, 13b with 3mm hurley seals, and ported cooling and oil ducks with around 10k on it (built by marvelspeed)? I also have an Oil and water cooled T-66BB, and the stock tranny with about 90k on it. I'm thinking of selling these guys to do an LS1 conversion. What would a reasonable asking price be for those items? Thanks for the help guys.

Who made the turbo? The ducks are good, roast them at ~550* for ~25 minutes

Its hard to guess the value of a motor with 10k. We have no idea how it was treated. We have no idea how long it will last especially it being used with a single.

ducts. haha... it was 2am when I wrote that.... k. Anyway, it's a Turbonetics T-66. The motor has been treated well, not ever seeing over 17psi. The car drives around at 15psi 99 percent of the time. The motor doesn't quite have 10k on it, but is coming up on that. It's probably more like 8k but I'd have to check to be sure. I'm just trying to get an estimate. What would a low price for the motor be? I know you guys don't have to respond but I appreciate the help.

Your best bet is to do a search on all the rotary forum for sale sections on 13b turbo engines and see what they been going for. Sorry its of no real help, but if you look a bit you'll get an idea of what people are willing to pay.

I pay about $6000 dollars for my 13b rew street race custome Pettit Racing engine, 3mm hurley rotors , with hurley aphex seals , and with all the extras (oil , water , crank shaft mods) but without dowel pin.
I think that used could sell it for $3000 or more , meaby i'm wrong.

The porting on that engine is pretty rare. Don Marvel does not do that port often.

As for the T-66...I paid $2600 for the turbo alone, it's dual ceramic ball-bearing. Don't forget about the custom manifold and exhaust you can sell as well.

Good luck with the sale and conversion...if that's what you end up doing.
