T-214 Fair Market Value?

[PareosWC]

Gents, to fund my wiring harness for the WC52, I may consider selling/trading a (stuck for now) T-214 from mid August of 1943. Trying to get a fair market value range for the following:

I'm currently away from my shop, but I keep it in my shop, on a stand.

The motor is complete from the fan, all the way to, and includes the transmission, minus the exhaust manifold. Accessories missing are the genny, starter, and carb, and I believe the t-case shifter?

Motor's head is removed and MMO is soaking in all 6 cylinders, as it's stuck. Either the pistons, or the valves, or both

I have (6) NOS pistons and rings if you decide to use them- .050 over I believe.



I drive quite a bit from Upstate SC, through NC, and some into VA to include Andrews AFB- so shipping would be immensely reduced if you're along that route.

I don't know what a good price for your motor would be , I thought you might
be interested in a thread that I started , it's called " How to break pistions free ? "
it is dated ; Wed June 20 , 2012 ( check out my " threads started " in my profile )
I think it's around page 8 or so , anyway there are a lot of good ideas and different
things that other members here have done , like molasses and water or coca-cola
or acetone and used motor oil , check it out , an interesting read .

You might be able to get better money for your motor if it
was in taken apart and sold as individual parts
