Default How much is a complete 951 motor worth?

What is the current going rate for a stock 951 motor in good condition. Specifics include complete with all accessories, turbo, dme/klr, etc. 110k, never opened.

Thanks!

It can be all over the place, but I'd start around ~$1300

I would say the motor is worth $1500 and the engine computers are another $250. You really need compression numbers and if possible leak down numbers to sell it though.

Agreed.

I've paid anywhere from 1200 to 1500 for long blocks in known good condition with a few added accessories. You could start at 1700 and work your way down if it's the full engine/harness/accessories, etc.

How's it going, man? Any reason why you're asking?

Hey its going good. The reason I'm asking is because the L33 motor (5.3l aluminum LS block w/ LS6 heads) seems to be going for around 700 for a low mile example these days

$1000 for a low mile, 340+WHP, reliable (although I have to admit I've had zero issues with mine for 20k) motor seems to be looking pretty attractive these days
