Default 85 ROW 4.7L S2 Long Block - Pricing

Just curious what a ROW 4.7 L long block would sell for these days?

Lets say 108K plus a few track miles with very slight (and I mean very slight) seepage from the oil pan

Anyone in the know?

TIA

Wasn't there also a water pump bolt adventure, anyways I got my spare years ago for cheap. I would say the block not so much but the heads would be valuable to someone wanting to do a 5.0l hybrid. I'm happy I got a spare. my .02

I would probably pay $500 in Europe. Shipping is the killer.
Locally maybe $750 tops if I really needed it.

By long block do you mean with heads or the whole top end with intake and MAF (CIS vs LH a big difference)?

Air filter box would be a plus, no MAF, or worse CIS less.

I don't think of the short block as worth shipping, which is the other big issue, I'd pay a premium for a local motor I could look over and/or potentially work out any issues that turned up easily.

Maybe $1k to $1.5k depending on details, including shipping, but biggest factor I would have to need it now, not as a spare to use maybe some day.

Just the heads and block - No other goodies.

Thanks for the reply

The cams are worth more than the long block - S2 cams probably $1000 for the pair.
4.7L US engine about the same apart from cams.

On a related note, what does a complete 4.7L euro cis engine be worth? If I remember correctly, the FD shouldn't be different from any other FD for other CIS system (US vs euro), right?

thanks

Post number 11 of this thread shows the difference between the us and the Euro.

What do you mean by a "long block?"

This means different things to different people.

Me, too.

The block, crank and rods are shared with any other 4.7l engine. It's the heads and pistons that are different. The pistons are notched for the bigger valves and higher lift.

Default 85 ROW 4.7L S2 Long Block - Pricing

So the cams alone are worth $1000? Can someone confirm that for me?
