I fully agree with Steve. You want to get the $$$ out of the engine, but can't spend the $30.00 or didn't want to unless the engine sells?
This engine is only "worth" what someone will pay for it. And it's only special to the matching cars VIN. Other then that, it's your typical run-of-the-mill 427 with maybe a extra $500/$1000 for possibly being a COPO engine.
As it sits, I wouldn't give him $10K for it. Now some may feel it's worth a bit more if it's close to there original engine build date or whatever. But what would it add value wise to the original car? $30k, $50K? Plus you have to freshen it up and see if everything is still usable and in good shape? Is it bore .125 over already?????
