Any idea what I might be able to sell my donors full LNF engine for? It has like 102k miles Everything except the wiring harness for the engine. No transmission, As I need that.

[Ark :D]

Without trans, they seem to go for about 500 (assuming the engine is healthy) on FB Marketplace. You might be able to get a little more, because that's not terribly high mileage.

*edit* I believe that was mostly for SS/SC engines. Could start at $1k and come down from there if you need to. Don't worry, if it's too high, the 20-something male demographic on FB Marketplace will let you know, post-haste.

I sold my LNF (130,000 miles) for $800 and my F35 (non-LSD) for $450 in Phoenix. Likely found the right people in (desperate?) need of them at the right time.

 

[TheNuker]

The fun is about to begin! I'll start a part number log again at the top of this thread to keep track of every new part I use.

I can not stop looking at that floor. Mine is so ugly.

 

[TheNuker]

Finally sold the donor LNF/F35 trans today. Made 2200$ on all sold parts. Paid 1500$ for donor. Kept all the parts I need for Goblin! Now lets just hope I can finally have some quiet time in my life to start building...

So is TheNuker the first "repeat offender" for a second Goblin build?

 

[Ross]

Chad has made 2 Goblins too. CTuinstra. Adam is on his second one, maybe Lonny? Bar-Air is talking about making a second one too. Not sure if there is more double Goblin owners.

 

[TheNuker]

Okay with this coronavirus slowdown the Goblin is on the front burner!

Let’s get this show on the road!

Got the frame back from powder coating today! Looks great. My brother and I got about 1/2 of the wiring done. Hopefully can finish it tomorrow.

Its a prismatic powder cosmos black

455$ for the frame/motor mounts foot kick plate and about 8 other misc parts with sand blasting.

Brad

.100 so about 3x thicker than stock floor.

Haha It started as a workbee that I never liked. So I cut some new aluminum plates and upgraded to all linear rails much larger motors a 1.5k watt water cooled spindle and 1/2" acme rods vs the 8mm that come with the workbee.

I'm really happy with it can do about 40 inches per minute at .3mm per pass in aluminum and 250ipm and 1/4" passes in woods.
