Cary, that is a hard call.� With GoIdiots (for instance)�claiming they have to use 1.9 cases to build their smaller motors, one would think worth more.� If you delivered them...� But with the consideration of $200-300 in shipping to get said core to a rebuilder, that would put the offer in the $400-500 range, which is probably about what most would give for one in person.� However, I bought two 2.1 cores in probably the same shape for personal use in AK no less last fall for $150 each.� If you delivered (several) to a rebuilder, and if truely they end up OK to use, yeah as "scarce" as they are now days, I'd want more than a stinking $200, particularly if they want heads, and flywheels.

Are the $ amounts being offered reasonable, considering it is being offered by an engine re-builder?

GEX says that to get the $ amounts offered, the engines must include either a flywheel or toque converter plate.� I was hoping to keep those parts for spares, or to sell them later.� Is a short or long block expected to have a flywheel or converter plate attached to it when bought or sold?

My engines had 120,000+ miles on them, had not ever been taken part, and did not have head gasket leaks when they were pulled from service.� Since the heads (which are VW, and not AMC) are only worth $50 a pair to GEX, I'm thinking about removing them to check for excessive pitting, and selling them separately if they don't look too bad.� However, I don't know if there's any market for used heads, unless they are re-built, and I don't want to invest the $ to have them tested or re-built, just to sell them.� Any advice as to whether I should pull & inspect the heads with the idea of selling them used as-is, as opposed to just leaving them on the engines?
