What's reasonable? I saw one guy had a 401 for sale that had been left in the rain, had dirt dauber nests in it, and the carb was missing. He wanted $800.00.

Yes - any 401 / 360 would need a 'Freshening' hone - so what ? You should have jumped on it Clarence - A rebuildable unopened 401 for $800.00 ? Last time YOU SAW a REAL 401 was: "..answer here.." . I'd charge you $1,500.00 if it were mine, and that's only cause your a List member;) IF I wanted to sell it fast - and was leaving town at the wrong end of a gun. IF I HAD A 401 ? - it would never be For Sale - . $2,000.00 for a Complete 401 will fast become an AMC 'reality' - they 'ain't' a 304 nor a 360. People are 'sleeving' damaged 401 blocks - salvage - . The LTD production engine came with HD block and Forged crank 'n rods - been out of production since ? aren't many left unaccounted for....are 'The Darling' of AMC - > $800.00 asking and you're incredulous ? The 'old days' of $250.00 running 360s is gone. RM is fine, but you'll pay in todays prices when available. I'm certain you might find a 360 / TQflite combo around Memphis - not easily - best is to find the Engine and then a Trans later....but look at it this way: Do it now. Store it 'till later. Bet that $800.00 401 is "Long - Gone", Clarence ;) -- Brien NEW YORK eagle registry #501 eagle kammback registry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
