1977 evinrude 140. 135 strangler

[SparkieBoat]

I have these two motors. I was wondering what they might be worth. The 140 has a warped head. I removed it to get it smoothed and never did. It is a complete motor and the gear case seems to be in good shape. The 135 is missing the gear case and carbs. I believe it had good compression when I checked it a long time ago. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Weigh everything and use $201/ton for mixed scrap metal prices.

They may be worth something as parts, however based on description, I consider them scrap

First thing is to pull the heads on the 135 and see which ones you have.

Run Craig List ads, and "consider all offers".

NO NO NO first you pull the heads on the 135 and see if you have the high compression ones. If you have those they are worth more than both motors combined!!!!

What am I looking for?

How do I know if they are high compression heads?

I was told that the 1977 140 had a special exhaust port that was valuable

Pull the heads take pics and post them. I dont think the 140 is special. But early 135s had the high compression heads.

I will. I was told that the exaust housing on the 140 was special and desired
