Ask yourself what sells the best off this engine, is it there and does it look like it's not damaged and all complete?
The pump from a 160/175 engine is worth a minimum of $400 to me as a core, a 180/215 is at least $550.
Timing case, ~$100-$150.
Pump gear, S60-$100.
Oil lines and fittings to the pump(s) $65-$75.
Combo pumps, $125 and more.
Block adapters go from $75 to as high as $225 in some places.
Then, there's a myriad of other pieces that sell.
$1000 is a good buy in for a complete engine on the ground, that you can't hear run or inspect.
I always try to rotate them and listen for pops, clunks or snaps and I rotate it in BOTH directions, with quick starts to detect a rod bearing that's loose.
I've given more for "cores", but I'm usually confident it was a runner, and that the seller wasn't blowing sunshine up my ass.
If anything, the stuff that runs it is where the value is, the bottom end is irrelevant, when viewing from a parts value standpoint.
Mark.
