What's a ported intake worth?

[aries]

I'd like to get your opinions on what a ported intake for a SRT10 engine is worth? The porting was done by Lingenfelter. The intake came with the motor I purchased but I do not need it because I already had my original intake ported and powder coated black. Thanks

They are of scrap value only, and I pay premium money for scrap. Just leave it at the curb on recycle day, and I'll leave the money in the mail box.

Thanks!

$50 sounds like a good price.

Ha ha ha, you guys are a hoot!!! Boy aluminum "scrap" must be paying real well these days for you to drive from Texas to Maryland Dave6666. lol

kinda depends on what the intake was ported for ? was it high RPM, torque, TT car etc....

Really though, ebay is a good way to monitor used parts prices. There are more Gen 2 intakes floating around there now than Gen 3s, but a nice used Gen 2 with injectors is worth $150 to $200 right now. With reputable mods the price could go up quickly.

I would give a generic ball park price of $500. Most common factory parts are not rare these days, especially on the Gen 3. And even many Gen 2 items.

Classifieds on the forum..FREE to members. Just ask for best offers. Air intakes for genIII are cheap. Maybe try to get half of cost to port it?
