To start with I'm not to much into these what's it worth posts, but on this I would like your thoughts, comments, etc.
This is a Hemi drivetrain dropout. Includes the following:
66 cast date Hemi, stamped as a 68 built engine (probably a warranty block).
Engine is complete air cleaner to pan, rebuilt with 1000 miles and still solid lifters. Includes all engine accessories, waterpump, fan, belts, pulleys, alternator, PS pump, fuel pump, carburetors, 70 air cleaner, engine harness. Sort of plug and play.
Next 69 Hemi K frame, and entire front suspension including upper and lower control arms, disk brakes with calipers, torsion bars, sway bar, strut rods, steering sector, pitman arm, idler arm, and all linkage, tie rods, etc.
Next 70 10 1/2" bellhousing 130 tooth Hemi flywheel, clutch pressure plate, throw out bearing, 69 18 spline transmission, cross member, and Hemi driveshaft.
All components 1000 miles of use. In other words everything except the Dana for a bolt in, hook up and go. Pulled from a 70 Plymouth B body that is going to be a Hellcat conversion.
Three questions. What would you pay? What is it worth? What would it cost to build?
 
For the hemi engine couldnt afford it,at least 40000.00 n what ever you want to throw into it.The k member between 4000.00n 5000.00,n the tranny setup would be another 3000.00 to 4000.00,that drive shaft is a grand alone

Ahahahahahaha at those prices I’ll take 2 of everything. Lol
 
Jerry,
I say 25 to 30K on the engine give or take a couple grand
K member and suspension 1800
1400 or so for trans
350 for bell
Clutch setup 350
Crossmember 50
Driveshaft 600
 
To answer your question approximately $30,000, approximately $30,000, and approximately $30,000
 
Beekeeper has it right except trans $1900. Is engine std bore or over bored? Deduct some depending on how much.
 
I think beekeeper is in the correct range 20000 low end .....25000 on high end

One of the things I don't know yet is the engine bore or complete spec's. All rebuilt is mostly what spoke to me as well as no issues with the block or heads. I have a couple of videos of the engine running in the car, but they have the wrong file extension to post here. I pretty much know how much it costs to build a Hemi and it's not a 5K build. I have bought the setup regardless of whether I got a deal or not. Just the labor saved in having to assemble and install the assembly into a car is tremendous. As it sits it's a couple of hours work to get into the right body. I forgot to mention that the cast iron exhaust manifolds are included as well. Still trying to negotiate the H pipe. Here is my idea right now.

I like where you're going with it!
I can give you a combination of what Brewer's shows for parts prices and some of my own recently
paid for some of that:
Engine: no freaking idea - I can't afford to eat at those restaurants
18 spline: I bought mine rebuilt for $1000 from a trans shop (took some homework/time)
Bellhousing is $500 from Brewer's right now
Clutch: Depends on what/who/which, but a common Centerforce setup runs just shy of $500
Crossmember: $150 on Brewers new (and I have one - if you need it, it's yours)
 
Guy I know found the Hemi engine for his car, only missing couple minor parts. Paid $40k plus some $2k in parts, think the added value of the original engine was worth it. He had an engine in the car so it helped defray the cost.

Original engine, I agree. My opinion 25% more at least to get the matching engine back.
