198 slant 6 value?

[thedave8]

I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place, I wasn't sure. Is there any interest in a decent running 198 coupled to the 3 speed manual transmission in central Florida? I am going to pull it soon to swap in the 318/ 4 speed in my 74 Duster. I rebuilt the carb and it seems to run pretty good, and appears to have some new tune up parts on it from previous owner......
What's a fair asking price if anyone were to be interested...? Thanks guys

The rods are worth more than the motor complete.

Free-$200 IMO

Is it a 2bbl? Factory blue?

ditto on rods.
cranks are used in 170 to make a 210 short stroke engine,

In reality, its Worthless.

I've had 2 running and driving slant vehicles recently. I tried for months to sell them as complete engines/drive trains. I advertised them as they were running and driving and could verify before sale. I ended up pulling my dart engine and kept the slant for a month or so before selling it for scrap to get it out of my way. My D100 had a slant with a 727. I offered it for a few months, pulled it and offered it for $200. Ended up giving it to my cousin for free and he hasn't had any luck selling it in nearly two years. It's a complete running slant, good 727 trans, drive shaft, exhaust, wiring, ignition, etc.

People might want them, but they won't pay for them.

I'd love to have that transmission, but I'm half a country away. lol

^^^ this. so much this.

unless it's got something special cooking, it's a boat anchor. pull the carb and air cleaner. if it's electronic ignition yank the distributor. that stuff will sell, but not much else.
