Thread: Value of 267

Tweet

I have a 1981 chevy 267 from my 81' Impala, I have no use for it and I do not know a fair price. How much is this worth? It has a 2 bbl carb and is all stock, I also belive it is computer controlled. I have never bothered to turn it over but it had only sat for 2 years before I bought it, the car's odometer reads 120,000 and the former owner said the odometer worked. Oh it's rated at 115 HP. The former owner also said it never smoked. I bought it thinkin it was a 350 and the old owner of the car thought the same.

I need the money so I have a chance at affording the Benz conversion.

Thanks Streets, The only reason I thought it was computer controlled cause there is a mass of wires under that hood, they go everywhere. You actually think 2 years of sittin can actually freeze the engine up, I diddn't know the Freeze up time period. I paid $75 for the entire car, is it possible for the trans to go bad also? He said it shifted smoothly and if you couldent remember I found it to be a Th200. I know the rear end is smooth.


Lets see, 13 bucks a ton and, it's about a 2 ton car so if nuttin more I can make 26 dollars.

Streets, do you think I should get a 350 and use my Th200 trans or, get some kind of cheap ford 302 donor car ( 80's crown vic or merc grand marquise )? I know the 302 will work as the other person on this site did his with a ford 302 and there is another one on www.cardomain.com. I just don't know which I should use, I would like to be a little diffrent and use the Chevy but people have arleady proven that the 302 will work and I don't really know which one to use. The 351 is the same physical size as the 302 right? so i could eventually get a 351 and replace the 302.

hey Matt, the only thing worth less than the 267 is the TH200 behind it!!! Sorry man, could save the whole thing till scrap iron prices go up again !!!!

Actually, I know a fair amount about engines just, I don't know how much a crappy 267 is worth.

hey csf. who the heck appointed you cheif agitator, anyhow??
Back off dude, life is far too important to be taken seriously. The kid doesn't claim to know it all, he's here trying to learn. Jeez !!!!

Thanks fer backing me up dave. Oh and I'm not in the hole cause I will not be needing the 267 and the trans attached to it and, I just remembered that the former owner ( my moms friend ) said that if anything came up that he would buy them back so, I can get most of my money back and the rest, I can gut the good parts that are still good like the dash, seats, 2 headlights and the rear end and sell what I can and find a way 2 use what's left in one of my projects.

Hello, I would be interested in your 267 V8, if you haven't gotten rid of it yet. I can't quote the value, but if you would get back to me, we could work something out. Maybe a trade. I have a lot of stuff.

Sorry, I promised the former owner of the engine that I would sell it and the trans back to him if I found that I did not need it, this is the only way I got the powertrain in the first place. I'm sorry I cannot sell you the engine but, I live in New York and I promised the former owner.
