Gary's 2019 Swap Meet Items

Recommended Posts

Gary, what I have seen on Craigslist and Facebook is usually ~$300-$900 for a running, stock, pull-out (engine) depending on the type of engine and what all comes with it. I would say yours should be at the higher end of that, but most people looking for a running engine to drop in are looking for a bargain. Rebuilable “core” engines generally list for ~$100-$200.

TTB’s can be a little hard to find a home for. As sad as it is, yours may be worth more dead than alive. New TruTrac units run north of $500 for the carrier, and if you can remove the center chunk complete with gears that is probably worth more than what most people would pay for the axle. Just a thought. I would price that accordingly.

On the transmission $150-$250 sounds about right. I think the T19’s should bring a little more because of the synchronized first, but the demand for non-OD stick shift is pretty flat. I will say that the 460 bellhousing is quite an item if it has no cracks or welded bits. Check eBay history but they are usually asking a few hundred for that piece. You might want to separate it and sell the bellhousing that way.

Jonathan - Thanks! That certainly helps. :nabble_smiley_good:

Thanks, David! Wow, if I could get something like that for the bell housing it would put a dent, albeit a small one, in the mounting costs on Big Blue's transformation. :nabble_smiley_good:

If someone with a small block were to buy the transmission, the bellhousing would be worthless to them, but they could still use the transmission. So it really wouldn't be that big of a deal if the bellhousing wasn't included since I routinely find transmissions without bellhousings selling for $300.

Good thinking, Shaun. I'll certainly separate the two for sale.

460 bellhousing is gold.

The slave cylinder boss is known to break off. (At least up here where salt pitting is a problem)

I pulled the bell housing off the T19 today and ran it through the parts washer. Pics below, but two questions:

• What's it worth in this condition?

• Would it be worth more if it was media-blasted? If so, how much more?

They seem to be listing right around the $400-$500 mark. I don’t know if they are actually moving at that price but it seems to be the asking rate on eBay.

The cheapest one is ironically in Australia, but shipping would kill the deal:

From what I see, having it cleaner might make it sell better, but I don’t think it changes the value a whole lot... as long as the buyer can see that it is solid, not cracked or welded or corroded etc., I wouldn’t waste a bunch of time or media on it if it were me.

Is that corrosion where the slave mounts, or is that just a casting imperfection?

This. The vast majority of the time it won't add to the monetary value but if there are 5 of them around the same price and one is media blasted, it will go first.
