Where the Chevy Camaro engine is listed
We found priced Chevy Camaro engine listings at 506 salvage yards across 41 states. Michigan supplies the most, with 647 listings (13% of the total) from 44 yards. Location matters: yards in Texas ask a median $1,700, while Illinois yards ask $3,232, 90% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Chevy Camaro engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Chevy Camaro engine are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 38% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $2,836.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.6L (VIN S, 8th digit, opt LGX), w/o engine cooling, lists at a $1,608 median, while 6.2L, supercharged (VIN 6, 8th digit) commands $14,000, a 771% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $2,487, while 2022 tops the table at $2,930. Parts from 2016–2024 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 9 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Chevy Camaro sits 13% above the Hyundai Elantra ($2,475), 254% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 31% above the Toyota RAV4 ($2,137) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used engine: what to check
- Ask for a compression or leak-down test result. Reputable yards test engines before sale.
- Under 100K miles is the sweet spot for a used engine; insist on documented donor mileage.
- Confirm what's included: manifolds, sensors, and accessories vary by yard and change the real price.
- Match the engine code exactly. The same model year can ship with multiple displacements.
- Budget for new gaskets, seals, and fluids on installation; they're cheap insurance on a used engine.
