What would be the estimated value on an older 2L pinto motor? Are they still worth anything in the racing community?
Still many of us using them. Condition ? Stock ?
Let's assume it's a race prepped motor from Quicksilver. Needing a rebuild, and hasn't been updated or run in 15 years.
A lot depends on the QS# on the head. Some heads being "magic".
15 years old... Obviously it would need the new pistons, valve springs, cam and flywheel.
I'd estimate a $5k to $6k refresh cost. Also depends on the condition of the bores. If it needs sleeves, the cost climbs some more.
$1000.00 I owuld think particularly given the Frog's numbers.
Assuming that it isn't all rusted up and frozen.
+/- depending on what comes along with it.

I don't recall exactly. I do know it was set up for a 96VD, and it was one of Schmidt's pro motors from the USFF2000 series back then. I know it had the "expensive" oil pump arrangement on it, but that's all I know. It's been sitting under a plastic tarp in the shop for a while. I'll have to dig it out and take a look.
