Value of 08 Rubicon with blown engine?

[Misparky]

I'm trying to help out my bil with his 08 Rubicon 4 door. It's got 83k on it with a rod through the block. He's owned it since new and now he's in a bad way for a vehicle. We are trying to decide if we should sell it as it sits or put a short block in it. Any idea what it's worth as it sits? I have to believe that it would be a great project vehicle for someone who is interested in transplanting a hemi in it or something. It's bone stock with the exception of a 6" lift and 37"s on it. It has been a pavement queen it's whole life.

Thanks!

I would say maybe 6-8k as it’s sits. The 3.8 is a terrible engine when compared to the 3.6.

Advertise it for $10,000. You can come down, it’s hard to go up in price
