Default Engine Parts Just Wondering

So I finally managed to swap the engine in my Z and didn't have to return the core. Now it's just laying around. What are some good parts that may be sellable/usable from the old engine? It had a spun rod bearing so doing the whole block wouldn't be an option.

head should be wortha pretty penny. and unnaffected by a spun rod...

unless they only replaced the short block, in that case, the block itself may be worth a bit.

Gotcha, I'll probably get those off. But as for the short block, I don't know how bad it is until I look at it. I caught it pretty early when it initially started the knock but who knows.

should just be bearing and possibly crank damage

+1. The block should be fine and I'd bet there's a good chance the crank is too. Even if it isn't the journals can be machined down .020 or so and compensated with thicker main/rod bearings. My Jeep had bad scouring on the crank and we still saved it.
edub370 and Ghostvette like this.

Post it up on the for sale board and see what happens. I'm sure there are people looking for a complete engine to rebuild for a monster HP build. Spun rod bearings are fairly easy to resolve, since most reputable engine builders go through the block and rotating assemblies to make sure there are no problems.


Other option: rebuild it for your own monster HP build...

I might think about rebuilding it but 69k miles from my sport originally, but I scraped up my new one with 40k miles from a wrecked nismo. I'll post it and see what happens. Better parting or whole?

I would post it as a whole first, that would save you the headache of disassembly, keeping up with the proper bolts, etc. IIRC, shipping on engines is about $500, at least that is what my son paid in shipping for a JDM engine for his 93 300zx.
