A running V6 anything is worth $2500...most of these go by condition now since they are all old lol

That depends Boomer - would you farm it all out or just the boring of the block for instance?

I mean scream and fly is always a good reference..... What is it? I paid 4gs for a fresh 260 powerhead only off TG a few years ago. I guess it depends what it is and what its got on it

If the compressions good across the board and you can hear it running about 3000-4500$ IMO. Depending on condition as doktorc said it can mean a couple hundred to about 1000$ difference in price.

Look at it like this...
cowl -$500.00
case (if clean) $1200.00
powerhead - likely a minimum of $800 if its a turd
Offshore mid and clamp - $1100.00

This is how I do the math.
