Lq4 value???
-
I dont know if this is the right place to post this, but i have been thinking about selling a motor of mine for some time now. Although, i have absolutely no idea what it is worh. This would be an easier decision if the motor was together, but the heads and intake are included but removed. THe motor is a lq4 6.oL removed from a hd gm pickup. It is nearly identical to the ls1, ls2, etc. except it has an iron block and a taller intake and a deeper oil pan. It is also lower compression, but basically the same. makes the same power and more torque. It has aluminum heads, all the accessories, and even all 8 coils. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice on what to ask for when i list it?

the motor has 80,000 miles. Was removed because of cracked flywheel. Engine was never reinstalled. It was from a service vehicle and the amount of money involved in labor was more than what a service truck is worth. Arent the heads alone worth more than the motor?

I'd pay $300 for it tomorrow and pick it up if its near fargo.

well even at that, your not gonna get alot for it. The coils are worth 75-100, heads are worth maybe 200 and the shortblock is worth 200. so after you go through all the hassle of ebay, paypal and shipping, you might make an extra 1-200 at most. I would just tell nick to give you 350 and be happy that its gone, no joke.
For reference you can get a complete 5.3 with trans, wiring, intake, computer and everything for 700-1000, to give you some perspective.

I called the salvage yard today and tehy want 1300 for a good lq4 w/out wiring harness. Although there is a catch. They also include a 30,000 mile warranty. that would be a good deal for someone who plans on keeping the motor stock, but someone who plans on tearing it apart, but not so good for someone who plans on tearing it apart and voiding the warranty.

Sell it to me for $300. I can meet you at the Aberdeen turn next week when I go to Milbank.

Not paying $500 for a motor someone else took apart, sorry.
