Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2006 3:43 pm Post subject: engine value Q.

I'm retiring soon and going to be getting back to finishing off my RV-6A project.



 Engine choices are coming up, and I have a question for the mechanics out there.



 I have a first run  O-320-E2G  that I bought from Fletchair in about 1990.



 It has been well stored, filled with oil and stored in a dry atmosphere.  Have log books.



 Engine economics have changed since then, with ECI engine kits now available.



 I did intend to completely rebuild this engine, but now wonder if it's better sold as a certified core, and I could use the money for an ECI O-360 kit, and get more HP for the $$$.



 Any idea of it's value?  

 No mags (they were the throw-away ones), no starter or alternator, original carb.  

 Was running when removed at 1900 hrs approx. 

 The Cheetah it came from was "Tigerized"



 Any suggestions or comments??

I've bought run-out engines with accessories for $4000.  Been a couple of years ago.

 Actually, they were both out of certified AC ...... I rebuilt them (with supervision by AP/AI) and had complete engine log entries.  Actually, the O-320 was $3000.
