I'm kind of playing around with the idea of going to a salvage yard and finding a 12V engine to swap some parts with on my 24V. I was just curious how much people would pay for a running 12V engine from a salvage yard?

 

In Greeley, CO 12 valves were going for $2500 about 2 years ago.

 

Depends a lot upon what's happened to the engine. If you can find a good one in a wrecked truck, it's 2 - 3k at least. If there was a fire - close the hood and walk on (stress concentrations in the block & components from a fire can be invisible, and deadly to your engine's life). May be a bit hard to just "find one" as people tend to know what these are...good luck.

 

it aint worth no more than the current rate of steel which is what they have involved in it.

 

On craigslist in pheonix Az there is 2 or 3 ctds for sale minus the trucks from 1000 to 1300 bucks.
