That was a decent motor - you should get some reasonable interest in it, but it's not like 1984 Ford pickups are Rolls Royces or anything. It'll probably bring $300, or maybe a little more.

I've got an engine out of an '84 truck that my father bought before his



death. He was going to put it into one of his trucks. I remember him telling me that it came out of a truck that had 70,000 miles on it.



Anyway, I don't really have a use for it and was thinking about selling



it, but I'm not sure what to ask. It is a complete engine with carb, alternator, etc.


Any ideas?


Put it on ebay and let the market set the price.

It's a Windsor, an ok, but not spectacular engine. If it was a Cleveland, then you would have something. The other consideration is how long has it been sitting? If its been sitting a long time, the cylinders are probably rusted and a rebuild will be in order.
