hi everyone how much does a vr vs gts or senator 215 engine go for these days

Generally <10k (****box) to 20k+ (mint) its a 350 as well not 355 :P

yeah sounds about right, but when you can get a VX GTS for around 25k now, you wouldnt bother.

$10-20k+ for just the engine???

Comes with a free car surely?

I would say thats for a VT Roller block. There was a brand new crate VT 220 motor on ebay not long ago for 12K. I would just get a 5L block and build one, thats what I did in my SLE. For that money you can build a stinker!

i was only askin about how much the motor would go for coz ive got one i was just wondering how ill get for it

A second hand one.... would most likely have above 200,000km on it... complete, maybe a few thousand? I wouldn't pay much more because you could build one cheaper by the time you reco a 215i.

I refreshed it 2 years

they have a good crank in them, if its all good with no problems, no leaks, should be able to get a few grand, maybe 4 if you're lucky. people like stuff being hsv, also depends how much comes with it, in terms of wiring, ecu, other bolt ons etc. the bluetop injectors go pretty well too. I had one of these motors, but i sold it in bits needing a rebuild. the biggest problem with them in the low compression. if it was rebuilt with flattops, and maybe a bigger cam etc, it should be worth 4 to 5 grand maybe, if its stock pistons, just try your luck, see what people offer. you would be luckyto build a stroker with everything fixed up and rebuilt for much less then 5grand, if you pay someone to do everything. (machining, assembly, parts etc)

(machining, assembly, parts etc) I actually prefer the Harrop crank to the HSV harrop crank. Holden were tight arses and were rough on the machining to keep costs down. Harrop have a radius on the journals whereas the HSV is more or so a squarish edge. Squares in metal tear easier than radius'.

bloody rope seals though... pieces of sh1t.

i paid $2800 for vt 220i in mine 130 000ks 12 months ago hope this helps
