How much is this Motor really worth?

[ae13bravo]

How does $700 sound for a '96 KA24DE ported and polished (145,000 on the Cluster), hot shot headers, 5 speed trans, ECU, and full harnness? I just wanted to know if its really a good deal to jump on or if thats just the average price and wait on it? I know the average price for the ka is around 300-400. But since this is ported and polished I thought i guess it would save me the time of getting it done to my motor.

Thanks in advanced.

thats a good price just a used one out of pick a part runs over 400 here and you dont know what has been done. so hell yeah jump on it

Thats an OK price IMO... I would try and go a little lower, $500 would be nice...

porting and polishing is easy... u kinda dont need to do it to a dohc tho, the head already flows really good... id say its an okay buy for the extra parts...

$700 with nearly 150,000 miles on it = Fuck that shit.

That engine is gonna go R.I.P. real soon unless the the previous owner has performed some diligent maintenance.

For that money, maybe a little more, you could get a used KA and rebuild it and have a fresh motor.

Then again, the only engine work I ever did to my KA amounted to me yanking the son of a bitch and tossing it. So what do I know?

Good Luck!

not everybody has the tools or skills or even the money to rebuild an engine..they do what they can.. but i just rebuilt a sohc for about that price with extra goodies...
