Re: [AMC-list] What are 401 engines going for these days and are manyavailable?

Stephen,

401 engines aren't worth very much these days. They were very bad designs,
and most didn't last even 30,000 miles before expiring. However since I am
in the salvage metal business I would be very happy to take these boat
anchors off your hands to help you out. I am willing to pay the very good
price of $25.00 for each 401 engine you have or can find for me. Please let
me know as soon as possible because I want to get these engines in the next
shipment of scrap I will be recycling.

Armand


Seriously, 401 engines are worth what ever you can get for them. I have seen
them sell for anywhere from 600 bucks for one pulled from a vehicle and was
running at the time, to rebuild horsepower monsters that sell for $6000 to
$10,000. So now that I've given you some idea, how about selling me the
engine out of the IH for $600.....................I live in MN.

> Hello List members:
> What are 401 engines worth these days?? I have one that was bored 30 over
balanced new cam, forged pistons, double roller timing chain. Rhodes
lifters. After about 100 hours while driving the car the engine spun a main
bearing. So the crank needs to be build up and turned down again. And new
bearing throughout engine. How much is that engine worth? I have another 401
from a International Travel All. that had a two barrel carb and a governor.
It is in good condition may not even need to be bored 10 or 20 over to clean
up and rebuild. What are engines in these conditions going for now. Since I
know that they dont make them any more. I expect that would make them worth
some change. If you know what I mean? please respond with what these engines
are worth. I would like to get several options.
