Everyone wants to find a Hemi! Well, I found two, but they're 315 Dodge, both with adjustable rocker gear, and the bump-out valve covers (not rusted, but a few good dents) One turns over by hand, the other is stuck. What are they worth? -Brad
I have a couple ploy motors, love them. Not the cheapest to rebuild, or the best performers, but they look cool. I like em. As far as what they are worth, the basic 2 barrel enginess are worth a couple hundred if they are complete in my book. The red ram engines are worth more. Car engines. It really just depends on condition. I have 3 55-57 poly motors. I guess I should ask if yours are poly motors?
They are Hemi engines, out of big trucks. They've still got the big manual transmissions on them. And yeah, I assumed they were adjustable rockers under the dimpled valve covers... I didn't pull one to look. -Brad
The red ram is a little harder to hot rod, but speed parts are becomming available these days. It seems that from what I remember it was usually stationary engines and marine engines that had solid lifters, but one may assume that a big truck would have them as well. At least the dimple covers makes one think they might. The free one may be worth a grand or so, you may get it home and find that it had compression and is usable, if they could garentee that it would run it would be worth a couple of grand. The stuck one is a core and you have to consider that the block may be beyond repair, so I would guess in the 800-1000 range. Both are cores but the free on is a better core. I should asay one other thing, this is what I would expect to pay for them.
Hi.. Will you sell me one of them? I have a project car that had a 315 Hemi but it has been lost in the years.. =(
Yeppers... Never hurts to ask. I still have a lot of stuff I couldn't sell from 2012. If the guy still has the transmissions, or the engines, or spare parts for that matter, hopefully we can work something out. If you are not a Ford guy or a Chevrolet guy, you have to dig deep in hopes to find something out there you need. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
