what's it worth, 6 cly engine and stuff

[harry]

I know this is a touchy subject, but I have a friend that needs to support his habit, really, and he has a few items that he needs to turn into cash to support that.
it would be better to give him some dollars than see him destroy these things perhaps.
one is a series 3 6 cyl engine, is that an f head?
wheels to suit s3 or what ever,
and he also has a conversion kit to suit s3 to holden.

I am looking at what he has in the morning and do not want to be unfair if I decide to help him.

I do not want a 6 cyl, engine but someone here may, at the moment I do not know the condition, and suspect it may be seized due long term storage, or it may be the engine he overhauled some years ago, and do not know what is attached to it, apart from that it is attached to an engine stand.

so, with the useless information I have, can anyone throw up some values of these things?

It would seem these are priceless...which is why I am hanging on to mine :D

[Landy Smurf]

a 6 cyl. complete engine in unknown condition is around $100
the holden engine kit , I would think of about $75
If they are just series rims In average condition $10 each, good condition $20-$30 each

Save all 6 cylinders!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the 6 cylinder engine are going up in demand of late due to engineering certificates and originality

I know someone who's developing a Land Rover 6 to perform like it always had the potential to perform. The work includes timing, breathing and exhaust modifications.

It may be a case that we all want our F heads back and dump the Holden engines.

I'd love to find a good runner LandRover 6cyl just to bring mine back to standard.

I have never given up on them, I think they are a good solid engine. One look at the size of the big end and main journals, and the 7 bearing crank says to me that this engine is just asking for a bit of tuning, or a turbo:twisted:.
Mine has only had the valve timing advanced 6deg, and that alone has made a noticeable difference to its performance.

Recently paid $80 for an unsiezed complete unit - condition unknown. If it is siesed, then less than that I would think.

I had one given to me. Actually, it was really given to someone else.
I'm told it was running when he took it out.

I would like one for an outdoor coffee table - safe from theft (and lit nicely with LEDs) in the backyard of course!

An alloy V8 is better for a coffee table.

An alloy V8 is better for a coffee table.
I would have to agree

I came across a six cylinder engine today in my travels.
It has a frame/stand attched to it and the owner claims it is reconditioned and ex army. Looks to have been sitting for a year or two though!
He has made some attempt to seal it from dust and dirt.
He will sell it.


Cheers, Mick.

We'll discuss this further if it's still available when Dave and I visit.
