Default Gauging Interest...LQ9 Shortblock

I have an LQ9 shortblock laying here in the garage. Don't know much about its history. I bought 2 when I did the conversion in my 95 TA. This one is super clean on the inside, turns very easily, and looks like its in good condition. I pulled the rod caps off and all the bearings are in GREAT shape. Looks to be VERY low miles. Not sure whats its worth. Figured I would start the price @ $1000. The amount if interest thats shown will help me decide if I dump it off.

I will get some pictures up soon.

Thanks!

good unmolested 6.0 short blocks go around here for ~$450-500 all day long...I'd offer $400+ shipping since this one has been opened up.

I don't think that price is too far out of line. An LQ9 is always going to bring a premium.

Fair enough. I wasn't sure how much they are worth. I will consider it.
