Lightning Roller Whats it worth

[BigMattfromNJ]

What do you guys think i could get for my truck as a roller? Black 89xxx miles with a blown engine. have stock shortblock to go with the truck. I have really lost interest in the truck lately. i want to just put the stock shortblock in my truck and have it to drive but i know they way i drive the truck it will just blow up again. i don't have the money to go built now or i wouldn't sell it. Im thinking of selling it and parting out the mods i have and use that money as a down payment on a terminator. If anyone is interested let me know.

What how long did the motor last and what mods did you have? You make it sound like the motor if replaced would only last you a couple months or so?

Why not just replace with a stock motor?

i have a stock shortblock in my garage. im most likely just going to keep it i wanted to see what people thought it was worth.

Its worth more to you than to me or someone else. It might be alot of hassle to throw that short block in there, but when its in you got a truck thats worth $8k or so more... You know what im saying

This is a complete truck with a blown motor and less than 10,000 miles? Let me know what you want for it.

Matt,

Put that damn motor in a drive that thing. I'd hate to think that I drove up to NYC for no reason.

Get some good pistons too. Building up a short block is pretty easy if you have the proper tools.

i may depends on what the funds are like. what is everything i would need to do rods in my truck? Parts wise.

Is the short block brand new or used? What else do you already have to do the install with (head bolts, gaskets, etc.)?

Its Eric's used shortblock out of his truck. I gave my friend the list of gaskets i need just got to give him money to buy them through ford at 10% over cost. And then i need to get head bolts.

How many miles are on it? Do you know if your heads are ok? Honestly, if you're going to do it you should do it right. Have the block and crank machined, and replace the bearings. I'd use ARP studs throughout too (but that is not necessary).
