Default What is a 88 951 motor worth?

I'm thinking of picking one up. It came out of a wrecked car but I cant hear the motor run now. What's it worth?

S engine or no? what does it come with? Alternator? Compressor? turbo? all the exhaust? wiring harness? Quite a few things can come into play. Whats the mileage?

105k miles, everything but the DME, not an S. I'm thinking of buying it to rebuild then just do an engine swap.

Contact Lart951. He buys and sells tons of 944/951 stuff including full engines. He will probably give you the most accurate fair market value for it.

Wade, depends of miles, what's include in the package

does it have headers, turbo, ps pump, alternator, intake , injectors?

I have seen some going for $ 1000.00 to $ 2500.00 .

If everything is included and leak down and compression numbers are provided and the motor has guarantee $ 2500.00+ is feaseable.

Thanks lart951 and everyone else too. I'm going to try to see it this weekend. Hopefully I'll have a good rebuilder while my stock engine is still in the car.

I've got a 951 engine floating around here somewhere... TN. If interested, I can get you details and an asking price. We can crate it and ship it no problem.
It's currently in a wrecked car I think with 90k miles. We were going to try to find a shell to put it in. DME, alt., p.s. pump no problem. I can find out on Saturday and let you know. Just let me know if you have interest.
