I have a buddy that wants me to make him an offer he wont shoot me a price. Advice?

 

depending on the millage and what does complete mean ,alt,water pump,a.c comp,intake manifold ,ect. i would say $700 give or take i paid $900 fot a complete lq4 with 15k miles!

 

what year is it? i paid $450 for mine. its a 2003 and had 25,000 miles, but didnt have alternator compressor or PS pump. So $700 is a fair price depending on the completeness and year

 

Do i need the wiring cause he doesnt have it, cant i use my 5.3 wiring?
He has forged pistons and rods and a reworked crank and willing to put it togther complete short block too. What would that be worth hes got $1000 he wants to sell it compete with those parts now i guess.

 

The block is honed and everything is torn down and ready to be put back together.

 

Cant i swap mostly everything from my 5.3?

 

Throwing in JE pistons and Eagle H beam rods,. Crank still needs to be cut.

 

1300 to much for everything?

 

yes... all i swapped was a long block.... block/heads... and i didnt have any issues.... i used all my 4.8 stuff...

i even ran on 4.8 tune for a while

 

I want to ask a similar question, would $3770 be too much for a new engine? LQ4 no miles, new.
