Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows what an engine I have could be worth approx. Its a 308 (trimatic pattern) with qt prefix. i have been told it is a 1972 engine. It is still running in my car and goes great. No smoke, doesnt use oil. No overheating problems. I am replacing it with a nother engine with numbers closer to my car. Any thoughts on price and desirability?

You would be looking at anywhere from about $1k onwards with the price depending on various things like bore size, what accessories are included, date code, etc. What's the date code located on the top front of the block next to the timing case (e.g. Edited by user Thursday, 15 May 2008 5:10:49 AM(UTC)

I actually thought a QT engine would be worth more than that. Obiviously depending on condition. They do suit Monaros.
