Re: 62 Max Wedge engine for sale - $14,000

[Jim Altemose <jaltemoose@xxxxxxxxx>]

Nothing wrong with building a clone, but that's a different story.
Like anything else, if you have the money and that's what you want and
it's the only place to get it, then get it.  If you don't care or
can't, don't.

But what I will say is I've seen individual bits and pieces of this
engine go for A LOT over the years.  And they don't come up for sale
very often.  You can spend a lot of time and money waiting for the
bits and pieces to come around.
Authentic MW block - $1,000
Intake manifold - $1,500
Exhaust manifolds - $1,200
Heads $1,500
Carbs and linkage - $800
Air cleaners - $700
Oil pan - $300

If you're building an authentic original MW, it will be worth $60,000
or more and the engine is the main ingredient.  That being said, I
can't afford to buy it.  But if someone can, I can understand why they
would.

BTW, I was more posting it as a point of interest than expecting
someone to want it.  It does seem like a lot.  But $10,000 wouldn't
seem that much to me if I were building an authentic car.
