Why add to x with gaskets, misc parts, port matching and etc... when I dont expect to get more than 7500-8000.00 for this car.



First off, if you put a straight 3L in, straight from the salvage yard and without at least an internal visual inspection, you're running a pretty big risk. I know I wouldn't buy the car knowing this... You should be looking at a gasket set and a few misc parts either way for this swap. At the VERY VERY least a pan gasket and a leak down test to check the ring seal and bearings...

As for your price... even with custom parts, you're high on your price estimate. Special interest vehicles very rarely go higher than book value, no matter how many extras they carry. Be prepared to sit on it quite a while at that price...

Just FYI... My '99 SE in great condition went for only a few hundred over book value with a 3L, new style pan, DMD, suspension mods, SVT brakes, custom exhaust, 17" rims, etc... and I sat on it for nearly a year trying to find the right buyer.
