Default What is a LS2 engine worth....

I am looking into options for upgrades and a stroker is one of those options. If i got a new engine what could i sell mine for?

The engine has a tad of 16k on it and had a new cam and ARD heads install about 10k ago....

Just trying to weigh some options here...

It is out of a 2005.

Thanks

I did the same thing, and ended up selling my H/C motor for 5,700.00
with 10,000k miles, 4,000 since the H/C install.
that will give you an Idea, the economy will hurt you some.
Good Luck
