It's a 1991 240sx s13 KA24DE with 110,000 miles and has less than 200 miles on the engine performance rebuild.

Come on, it's worth more than that.

OP, when you say performance rebuild, what do you mean by that? Forged pistons, rods, bigger cams, upgraded valve train? Higher compression, lower compression, building for forced induction or building for n/a ? If it's running like a champ and the interior looks good, it should be able to pull in $3500. Possibly a few hundreds more, but I don't think it'll sell above $4000 though. I've seen clean S13's go for about $3500.

Oh you're right! I retract what I said. Probably $2000 now, maybe even lower depending on how much rust is on the car.

It has over-sized pistons new rods, new bearings everywhere, new gasketscold air intake, and an ecu fast chip. and it does have a little rust.

240's are getting old, I wouldn't pay more then that for it.

plus any person that buys this, is doing a motor swap.

I dunno, if it's a rebuilt engine and the rust isn't too bad I might consider $2500, less if paying cash. Very most you'd get is something in the $3k range. KA-T is still awesome, no need to swap.

Those are probably fighting words to the KA-T guys. Other than the rust, this should be a great start for a lot of KA-T guys. The concern I'd have is. Why is the OP wanting to sell the car after less than 200 miles of driving his freshly rebuilt motor? That's not even a tank of gas yet. Unless, the point was to sell it all along. If so, I wouldn't have even bothered with building up the engine.
