65-66 K engine value

    Im thinking of selling a 65 Hipo engine.

    Engine is missing original dist. but have later ford dual point.

    Looks like the damper is a C8 unit.

    Heads, rods and mains are correct. Also missing waterpump/fan.


    Also have have Shelby lettered intake, T-pan, and valve covers, and S2MS holly carb. w/manual choke. Estimated value of this package.


    Any help would be appericated,

    is the carb from the 60's? If so add $1500 to your tally. If not add only $300 or so.


    Is the engine bored or stock? That can make a huge difference in value.

    If the block were .030 over, and heads undamaged, with all the Shelby parts identified as reproductions, it should still bring $5000. If the Shelby parts were from the '60's, the block standard bore, etc. the complete package might go for $10,000 - $ 15000.

    according to the number "893" you provided the carb was made in 1968, Sept, third week.


    It sounds like a carb sold by Shelby in the aftermarket. If the "8" had been a five, I would have thought it came on a 1965 GT-350. You're sure about the eight?


    I don't know exactly what to tell you about the carbs value, since it appears not to be (Shelby) original equiptment. I bet the folks at Pony Carbs could give you a value range if you provided them the date code.

    Hi,

    I'll say the carb, if the date code is correct,

    is worth about $500-600. If it is 593, it would have come off

    a 66 Shelby. It would be too late for a 65 Shelby. My friend has 6S923 and the carb is dated 581, i.e. First week of Aug.1965.

    Bo I stand corrected, a "593" would definately be too late for a '65.
