Probably not what you want to here, but the price is about $250 to high.
I had one for a few years setting around. Came across someone on Craigslist locally looking for just the head, I told them I had one they could just have for free. Told them they had to take the whole motor to get it though. Glad it is gone!

Well, you could take everything off, sell the parts, then scrap the block for cash.

I said i would be willing to part it out if anyone needs a part cause the junkyard is like we will give you $35 for the engine and i said heck no because it is a running engine...... but if could anyone tell me what is a good price for parts off this engine so i don't ask to much. This engine has everything except for the compartment where the air filter goes. It also has a wiring harness for the engine

I couldn't give away a perfect running 88GT motor for free, twice in the last 12 months. Both went to the scrapyard.

The 2.5 is a boat anchor, my friend

Injector - $20, IAC - $20, sensors - $10, oil pan - $20, TBI - complete... $50, exhaust manifold - $30, head - $75 (?).

Just some thoughts.

You're in the wrong place trying to sell it here IMO. Just keep putting it on a local craigslist, someone may eventually need it. But yes you'll probably need to bite the bullet and drop the price too. Try 150, then 100, etc

The ONLY way you'll get ANYTHING for that is if someone needs one, or parts LOCAL. Even if you priced it at $50, the shipping would kill it. Put it on Ebay, thats really your only chance !

Look for a Fiero with a dead duke for cheap, put in the running duke, sell the car, make some cash and convert another to the madness.
