i was just wondering, for the guys who have completed these swaps... how much would you sell them for? and how much would some of you other guys pay for one of these cars?
who knows no buddy does it then sell it
dealers wont take them in trades either as they have no idea what a car like thats worth
i know the 1 guy that had his running 10s wanted 25 000 and dropped the price a few times and he still owns it
its not worth the work to do it then flip it 3400 yes 3800 no theres too much time involved for what you will get

i wouldnt pay 2 pennies if the person that did the work didnt know what they were doing...
if you're thinkin about doing something like this, i would hope that you're a certified mechanic or have one do the work.
im not planning on anything. it was just a question. and i am a certified mechanic, a certified pipe fitter and pipe welder. and i know other certified electricians etc. that would assist me if i was planning anything. JUST A QUESTION.
certified has nothing to do with it
i'm not a certified mechanic but my engine is in there straighter and leveler then GM ever put it in the W bodys
GM has tolerances of say +-3 mm my tolerance was 0
just cause your a certified mechanic doesn't mean you automaticly know how to fab up engine mounts and stuff i know certified mechanics that can't even walk and chew gum at the same time

Probably won't get jack @!#$ out of it. Don't expect to get much more than the book value of the car with it's original engine.

If you want to buy mine... I'd be willing to part with it for the right price

^^^^^ not to jack Johns forsale but if you prefer 5spd i will sell mine fore the right price. i have my eyes on a 2010 Camaro SS sellin this car could be a nice down payment

modded cars arent worth jack unless you find the right buyer.
usually you will get less than someone selling a 100% stock car in the otherwise same condition.
Motor swapping 90% of the time isnt one of those things where the outcome value is the sum of the two parts.
