S54b32

 

Has been in a fire, pulled the head this afternoon to Check bores. There has moisture in the bores 

 

Head is in good condition

Comes with headers and throttlebodies 

 

Vanos unit itself is fine, solenoid  box has been burnt 

 

Perfect for someone who has a blown s54 to use for parts, or for someone wanting to rebuild it

 

$3000

I'd be extremely concerned about the condition of the aluminium. 

The block being cast and tempered, has been exposed to fire, if the temperature gets up around 400, there is a good chance the aluminium has been annealed. 

Anything steel is probably fine. 

Side note, isn't the going rate for an S54 long block that hasn't been through a fire around 3k?

 

NB: trying to create a discussion more than be an ass hole. Possibly educate as well. 

Tl;dr Cast Aluminium + Fire = bad.

We have had conversations with our engine builder and we see no issues arising with the head. Will happily get it checked over che hardness checked for anyone who is seriously interested. but from his experiences in rebuilding several Burnt engines he has said he would be happy to re use it 

if it was not for the moisture in the block, we were going to be using it for ourselves without hesitation until we get the v8 up and running

 

as for the price, after conversations with some people as to what they have sold parts for, and what someone has locally just sold a bare block for, we believe the price to be a reasonable starting price. Again, as it says open to realistic offers. 
 

For someone who had a engine already with a block that is toast or whatever, there has to be a value in it...

we had had people asking for us to sell headers and throttle bodies ect, and the answer has been we are bout going seperate anything off of it, because if all else fails, and it doesn’t sell, we will rebuild it and use it, and done want to have to re buy the stuff that we have sold

I'd assume that includes the oil filter housing
