More brain picking

THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE AD just to be clear. I'm wondering what the "reasonable" going price is for a 2000 V-10 from my Ex (that runs perfectly) and 4x4 transmission both with 135,000 miles. Also most of the wiring and control modules would be with it. I'm going to be doing a swap for a PSD very soon and figured I'd sell my V-10 when I'm done but I've seen ads anywhere from $850-$2,800. Is in the middle of that wide range ($1,800) legit???

Good to take some video of the engine/tranny working before extraction to help the future buyer assess condition.

Good advise! I was also thinking of listing it in a few places a few weeks before I pull it and let potential buyers take it for a drive....with me in the passenger seat.

How much are you estimating it will cost to do the swap? At some point, I would like to do the same.

I had someone who owed me a large chunk of money and he was still broke so I told him I would give him $1,500 and he would give me his 01 SD and our debt would be settled. So short story long.....Now I have a donor and I've set aside another $3,500 to make it a total of $5,000 to do the swap and some mods to the PSD.

Might it be worth it to put the V10 and transmission into the Super Duty to have a second complete vehicle?

That is a very good idea.

Thx! It needed some work when I found it in the backwoods of Maine, but I've worked most of the kinks out. Just replaced all the shocks yesterday. Rides like a caddy now.
