Naked Buell Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hey guys, so much is a fresh rebuilt Ea81, new throughout worth? I figure you guys that deal with the motor department all the time would know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Rare as hens teeth now. Couldn't assign a dollar value. Would be like the show condition brats on ebay. Find the right buyer and it's worth stupid $$$. Especially if it's verified with receipts/documentation/warranty or anything like that. Some of the new parts in there simply do not exist anymore so folks have to either cobble used stuff together or move on to EJ most of the time.

Logan K Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Seems like rebuilt ea81's for sale online are in the 2k range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 There's a shop near me that had two brand new EA81 short blocks. They wanted $1500 for them. Remember a new EJ short block is $2150 from Subaru. Contrast to a new goodwrench 350 long block at $1495 delivered. 250 HP..... LOL.

Naked Buell Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 I was just wondering because I have a fresh ea81 that I rebuilt, has 6,000 miles on her now but I am planning to put an ej into the car. So I was curious of what the ea81 complete would be worth so when I go to sell her, of course to you guys first, I know what to ask for.

Wagon Wagon Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 6000 miles ≠ new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 6000 miles ≠ new. Nobody said it was. It's a fair question to ask what a new one goes for if you've got one that's nearly new and you'll be selling in the near future. Play nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt167 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I used to know where a few brand new ea82 engines were. Guy wanted $1,500 each but couldn't sell due to no buyers. No clue whatever happened to them. Ik he closed up shop a cpl years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Buell Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I just wanted a ballpark. I take really good care of my rigs and wanted an honest ballpark so when I do go to sell it if someone wants to snag it great. But if a new motor with 10,000 miles isn't fairly new to you, that is fine too. I know someone will want it. Thanks for the ballpark price. I didn't know it was so hard to get parts. Just gives me the excuse to do the ej swap of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
