Hi, I´m new on this forum. I´m from Sweden and not so god at English but I hope You understand me.

I have a completely NEW engine to a Datsun 280 Z. Yes You read it right.
This engine are NOT rebuilt. It has never been started, never opened.
Its 0 km/miles. It has all original color marks on it.

I have got a 280ZX 1981 but I am looking for a 240-280Z to restore.

I am going to sell the engine but I don´t know how much money I can get for it.
Please help me, how much is it Worth?
Thanks
Hakan

Hi Hakan, welcome to NICO Club!

Supply and demand. That is what will determine the value of your engine. If there are five 280Z's in Sweden that need a new engine and you have the only engine, it's kind of valuable. If there's zero 280Z's in Sweden that need a new engine, you don't have much more than a chunk of metal. In today's global market, with the assistance of the internet, you can sell to lots more people and ship things. But, consider your reputation. Who knows you? Who would send you lot's of money hoping you will send them a new engine? Would you buy that same engine from a stranger in Australia? Maybe. Anyway, to be valuable, you'll want proof (documentation) that the engine is what you say it is and you'll want photographs. Good luck!
