What's A Good Price For A 5.0?

[KaLiKo Street]

I'm about to start a 5.0 swap in my 92 2.3. I haven't had much luck of finding a decent donor car in my area, however I have found a complete 5.0 on craigslist for $1400 (what hes asking anyway)

Complete 5.0L H.O V8 Engine pulled from a teriffic running 1993 Mustang LX 5.0L that was totaled in a side collision.
92k miles, superb condition, no leaks or issues, clean & ready to go!

Includes:
All accessories, (AC compressor, alternator, water pump, wiring, starter, etc.)
Full wiring harnesses
Computer (EEC-IV, C3W, F3ZF-12A650-FA)
Full air intake system w/sensors
Flywheel
Bellhousing
Motor Mounts
Misc. fuel line
Engine stand


What you guys think? I believe its a little high but maybe its just me...If he had the rear end and transmission for this price Id do it in a heartbeat. 92k is pretty low for a 18 yo car...everything looks really clean from the pics I saw. What you guys think I should offer?

He's asking $1400 for the complete motor, harness, and computer alone? That's steep in my book. Complete donor cars with motor/trans/rear/interior go for that around here. I'd like to see a price in the $600 range for what he's selling, personally.

I got him down to $1100 just because it would take me $300 in gas down there and back just to get it since im a state up lol. I offered him $800 for it and waiting on a reply. If he had the trans and rear end then I would of given him 1400 no problem but thats a little high for just a motor and some wires...

I just sold the exact setup that you are buying out of my car for $850, including an aftermarket flywheel and clutch. Try and talk him down.
