Default Re: GMC V6 engine value?

Thanks,

Value depends on a couple of things, Greg. First is the engine displacement. If it's just a 305, it won't be worth nearly as much as if it were a 351 or one of the bigger engines. Second is the distance a buyer would have to drive to come and pick it up. I've had to haul a couple of 305s to the scrap yard myself because I couldn't even give them away. But years ago I drove a thousand miles for a 401 and paid $500 for it. So you may want to let the forum members know which V6 you have.
