EVO 3 motor and tranny rare? value?

[Damills]

So my question is how rare are EVO 3 motor and tranny's? And what is their value? I cant find much info on them as far as people selling evo 3 parts. I have an EVO 3 engine and tranny both rebuilt with about 200 miles on them. Before you start flaming on me btw I know it is a Genuine EVO 3 motor/tranny already. I actually got the motor from a 1G Laser that I bought that the kid had modified to fit the evo 3 setup in. He welded a custom mount on the front crossmember for the 7 bolt style mount on the tranny. He also had to pull out the LSD out the tranny becuase the axles would not work in the 1g... i would have definately made some axles before giving up the lsd I thought it was pretty interesting to see this setup in a 1g though. The motor is fresh with cometic head gasket, arp head studs, and hks timing and balancer belts. Just wanted to get some other peoples thoughts and input.

So whats your question? Should you use the E3, Hell Yes...Value is a little higher than the standard 6 or 7 bolt motors if you plan to sell..

I have no need to use it right now. I just have it sitting in my garage and trying to figure out whether I should keep it or sell it and if so what is worth. I dont want get ripped off or rip anyone else off

First things first, Verify that the engine is evo 3...Does it look like a 2g engine? It's a 7 bolt, it has a larger TB than 2g, along with larger ex maniold...The intake manifolds only have 2 nipples I'm pretty sure, but that manifold itself is basically the same as 2g, minus the obvious 60 mm tb and nipples...It's going to come with a Real evo 3 16g as well obviously..And I'm not sure if the 7 jdm vc says mits on it, I know its 6 bolt counterpart infact does...

I am positive it is EVO 3 engine and tranny. The guy who bought the motor specifically ordered an EVO 3 swap for his car. Plus when I got the motor none of the stock stuff was on it besides the Evo 3 intake mani. It had a full t3 setup running megasquirt with a crank trigger wheel.

i believe i paid $1700 for my evo3 engine without the tranny

 

[Damills]

Any more input on this? How about the value of just the tranny itself? Any interest?

See if parting it out would bring in more $. BTW, just looking at the intake manifold and TB should tell you what you're looking at.

It's still a 4g and is the same thing I have in my car. Stock for stock in great condition can get a little bit more for it if it's a full long block as the intake, turbo, exhaust and injectors are different. All-in-all, anyone modding their DSM will change those parts regardless so it's pointless to pay more money than pulling a motor from the junk yard.
