What is a perfectly running good and complete LS2 from a Corvette worth with 108k plus miles? I am thinking of selling my stock LS2 when i drop my modified LS3 into my C6.

Just seen a few on craigslist the other day for 2-2.5k for the engine. Seen an LS3 with a T56 for 4.5k. You can also check ebay to see what people sell them for but in my experience ebay tends to be inflated by 1-2k for what you can find them for locally.

Thank you very much. I have seen the ebay prices and wondered how close they are to actual sell price. 4-4.5k all over ebay for LS2's, but none are being sold it seems/

When I wrecked and totaled my car, I had several serious inquiries for 2k within a day of having it for sale. Mine had 145k on it.

Suggestion, if you weren't already planning to do it, take some good video of your "perfectly running" LS2, idling, under moderate acceleration, exhaust note, preferably right before you remove it from the car and preferably with a date stamp on the video.

I've seen several discussions here over the years where someone has removed a good engine and tried to sell it then reported that many buyers want to see / hear it run before purchase and they wished they had taken some good video.

IMO, with 108k, if it is good you should be able to sell it quickly at $2k to someone putting it in some kind of engine swap project or off road vehicle.

JMO. Good luck.

I just bought an LS3 out of a Camaro with 71K miles. It came with the computer, accessory drive, bellhousing and clutch. I paid 2K for it, asking price was 2400.
