I have never heard of anyone doing this before. It will be a very clever and efficient solution if it works.The pattern through the drum is 4x108, and the spline OD is <62mm. A late 80's mustang wheel should fit the lug pattern and its 63.5mm hub ID should slip over the hub and let the wheel bolt up. This is just my interim fix to get it mobile.
It is a cliche, but a fair price is what someone is willing to pay and generally speaking, that often isn't much for a non-running engine because they are so expensive to ship. As an example, see this thread, where someone in California tried for several months to give away an engine and transmission. http://forum.sunbeamalpine.org/index.php?threads/siv-engine-and-transmission-in-ca.29940/. (One of our members went and got it right before it went to the scrap yard.) Overdrive transmissions are an exception to this rule because they are so rare and, as I recall, your car may have an OD, which someone will almost definitely want. Off the top of my head, I'd guess that an early non-synchro OD that has been sitting would probably be worth $2-400, but I could easily be way off in either direction on that.What's a fair price for them with 60k on the odometer and has been sitting for 30+ years?
