What prices do 356 s90 motors complete but frozen sell for? I'm looking to get a value for possible trades.

One that bad aint worth much........I doubt many parts are useable maybe 500 bucks would be max. Id give you 200 bucks max at a swap.The case is probably water damaged and unusable looking at it. A few of the items have value

Thanks volksworker, I will have to pull it, clean it, and examin it.

Exactly..........it would be nice if the crank is salvageable.
good luck

$500 seems a little low. :?: For that price put it on a pallet and ship it to me.

You can always ask these guys for another opinion:

Take it apart clean the carbs and sheet metal,, not super clean just get it so you can see any rust damage.. list each part sperate on Ebay ... you get $500 ,, before you even get to the long block.

I offered a 356 race engine built in the late 60's for 2500 on here and every porsche site I could find,, only to be told the same as you see here... Better yet afew went so far as the say there no way to fit a stroked crank in a 356 case... ( it has a 75mm spg )

after two years of this I did Ebay with it,, so far I have gotten 3500 and still have the short block to sell... LOL..

BUT everything I had was near new and was new when it went on the engine

Thanks Towd! Good idea. Parting something out usually does bring more.

P85441 is not a S90, but a plain old '60 Super. Apart from the pistons, cylinders and heads; not much different from a Normal.
