* Many engine options: The 1970 Challenger came with several engine options, each with its own value and cost. Some common ones include:
* 318ci (5.2L) V8: A standard, more affordable option.
* 383ci (6.3L) V8: A powerful, more desirable engine.
* 440ci (7.2L) V8: The top-of-the-line engine, often highly sought after.
* Condition: The price depends heavily on the condition of the engine. A fully rebuilt, restored engine will be much more expensive than a bare block or an engine in rough shape.
* Where you buy it: You can find engines from private sellers, salvage yards, specialty shops, or even online auction sites. Prices will vary significantly depending on the source.
To get a more accurate price:
1. Identify the specific engine: What engine did your Challenger originally have (or what engine are you looking for)?
2. Determine the condition: Do you need a running engine, a rebuilt one, or just a bare block?
3. Research: Look at online classifieds, salvage yards in your area, and specialty car part retailers.
4. Get quotes: Contact a few sellers to get an idea of prices.
Remember, it's important to be aware of potential scams and to carefully inspect any engine before buying.
