Has anyone ever purchased a new engine? If so what are/were the costs? I have access to one and 2 clutch pressure plates. I have not idea of the cost/value.

From my understand is they do not sell crate motors. That is a bit strange to see a new one in a box unless it was brought in for a special reason...

Retail on a new motor is probably worth $5K at least, if not even more... But finding a buyer at that price might be challenging. Its actually an item that might be worth as much as you can get.

The pressure plates, if they are stock, they are worth probably $20. If they are brand new Barnett plates, you might get close to retail.

It's all in the timing. A few years ago I'd have been thrilled to have that engine. Now, it could be a really fun project if I had time, space and money. Sadly I only have time.

is it close by, 1 1/2 hour drive
LOL, I was just up there yesterday. The project geek in me would love to see what all you have to get rid of, but the fixed income guy w/o a shop can't afford to go down that road. It would be a kick ass engine for an off road cart or a Smart car with a dead motor, Honda 600, etc. Minor issues of no reverse, but hey, I can dream.

Supply and demand. Ive picked up a bike motor before on ebay. Id say its worth 700 to 1800 depending on the buyer. If it is new i would definitely need some sort of proof.. Id only buy one now with at least a 30day warranty. Mine had one when i got it off ebay

Here is the situation, a racer friend passed and we are selling off some stuff to help his wife out. There is all kinds of stuff, the entire engine and some new clutch baskets as well.

I would be will to entertain offers plus shipping for the new engine.
I would definitely post an ad for the engine over on the ADVRider Flea market, Parts thread:

Are the extra clutch baskets the 14+ model? Those should be easy to sell.

Hi!!
If a 14+ Clutch basket is available I will be interested on getting one for me.
I'm from Mexico and will pay for shipping to my country.
Regards

2 barnett pressure plates, the kits that go with them can not be found and likely left with the 450 stuff.
