What is a 383 crank shaft worth?

What is the value of a good 383 crank? This one was cut 10/10 but never used.

I paid $50 for my last one and $300 in machine work (including bearings). So if it’s ready to install with no bearings, I’d guess $250??

Has it been magnafluxed . If it don't pass mag test its worth scrap price.

It will be worth $0 to most people. Good luck finding someone who is willing to pay anything for it. I tossed the ones I had in the recycle bin since nobody ever answered my CL ads. I have a new 440 cast crank that is heading for the recycle bin shortly for the same reason.

It’s not scrap, but no fortune. Don’t plan on selling it super quickly though. If you’re patient you might get a couple hundred on eBay if you give good pictures and info. Needs to be enough cheaper so someone will buy it and pay for shipping instead of just getting theirs ground.

When I moved I had a bunch of stuff mopar parts, blocks, heads, cranks etc I tried to give it away for free but still no takers, so into the scrap bin it went.

Wow. And just when you need something, there are none around. If you throw out any leftover TF240s let me know!

Freshly ground maybe $150. Pretty much about the price of having one ground or less. Any $ more most would take their crank in and get it turned and know what they have...Rather then taking a chance on yours. Its not worthless for a 383 build, but you may have to hang on 2 it longer then you think before someone needs one...lots of 383s out there.

I could use a couple 383 forged cranks but shipping is outrageous on heavy stuff like that. Kim

They are good for a 400 build also. Kim

If you were local I’d give you my spare.
