value 496 Mag HO top end,ECM,Cam
 
I just had a raylar kit installed on my 496 Mag HO. I am trying to decide if I want to sell my take offs.

What's a 114 hr. set of 496 Mag HO Heads complete with rockers,cam,intake complete with injectors,and an ECM sell for?

I'm on the fence about selling...but of course if the price was right I would sell. :drink:

The heads are now anchors. The computer should get $700 or little less depending but somebody's gotta need one. I've tried to sell mine 3 times so far. Injectors, maybe.... Did you upgrade injectors? Fuel system??'

Thanks

I bought the set up from a guy here with 30 hours on it! Don't know the whole story but he decided he wanted a blue motor and bought a 525.

He tried a fatter set of injectors...I believe they were probably to rich. Anywho I got 2 sets of injectors with the kit also.

:D I don't know, that's the reason for this post. If it's not worth enough I will just keep it. Probably be better to put the engine back to stock if I go to sell or trade my boat. I am open for offers!

Putting it back to stock?????? That's a little scary! By no means am I a motor head, but I would hate to think I bought a boat with a stock 496 HO not knowing that it had been run at much higher HP for X number of hours because of the Raylar Kits. Could a surveyor detect this? Of course I'm sure pachanga would tell the buyer.:D

Or put on e-bay.

Smack! :party-smiley-004: I've read it time and time again where people are asking advice on a modified boat and the advice given is they would be better to remove the mods and sell separately as banks and people feel more comfortable with stock!

Didn't know I would start and ethical business practice thead,but yes I would disclose this info. if I sold the boat.

I very curious if you got a set of injectors that were part of the Raylar Kit or did you inherit an aftermarket set that the previous owner tried?? Plus having the stock set -

The raylar 525 kit uses the stock 496 injectors. I talked to Ray about this. I got a stock set and I believe the next step up.

I am looking for 3 HO ecms and am willing to pay 500 a piece for them if they have not been modified.

So the next step up is what I'm wondering about. Did someone recomend the step up to you or was it that you just wound up with them via purchase?

pachanga,

Sorry, I didn't intend to side track your thread. It makes a lot of sense to change them back, but I personally wouldn't want to buy one.

I wound up with them via the purchase. From talking with Ray I think that's why the guy changed directions! He worked for GM and was influenced by the car buffs. As you know cars and boats are different ballparks. After talking with Ray I honestly don't think you will improve on Ray's package. That's what he tried to tell the guy.

Offer considered...but I 'm not gonna sell the ECM until I run the boat with the whipple reprogramed ECM I bought with the kit. Unfortunately that won't be til March or April depending on the weather and water levels in the lakes.

Side note...the ECM is the last thing outta this i will sell.

No problem... I may still need it in the spring. Just let me know if you change your mind.

Just purchased one ecm. Still in the market for two more.
