How much is built TH350 swap with < 1K miles worth? I am thinking about swapping the car back to a 5spd...It is quick but the downsize is that it is bad on gas, loud, and not an interstate cruiser. I didn't spent money on the swap so I don't know the value.

I am interested in your th350, I also have a full R154 swap sitting in my shop I would trade on it. (I'm a poet and didn't know it). I am 2 hrs away from you by Kent state University.

whats funny, is you didnt post to sell it or trade it, you posted to see what its worth and out of the responce's still dont see a price lol

You cant really get an exact price til you start buying things, but everything new with a built transmission would be in the 1k range, with no hook ups.

when I priced everything with what I could get it for would be around 600-700$$

But ,my offer still stands, you drive the car down here one morning and take it back that night with a 5sp in it.

It depends on a lot of things

Is it a good converter and can it be adjusted if you contact the manufacturer, does the firewall have to be pounded, is the flywheel sfi certified, who built the trans, what is in the trans, what kind of shifter, ds included. All of these things make the difference between a $500 hack to a $4000+ worth. I have over $4500 in the setup in my truck including the driveshaft. Then again the TH350 I run is well over $2000.

supraman502 didnt you get rid of the parts car that had the 5spd?

its coming out of our 87 project car, not the one parted a few weeks back.

dave-

yes if you have a $2k tranny in it that will make it worth more. but at the same time i can go get a th350 tomorrow for $100 too.
