Default Re: 512 long block question

Thanks ...........Very Interesting I thought there should be something there atleast. Well I assume it must have been Decked then Sometime In It's life. Well Here's the Deal I came Across A 512 Long block complete with 842 heads. It's been sitting for over thirty years. I removed the spark plugs and it turned over with out a problem. I removed the oil pan and it looked good you can still see the paint marks on the dimple rods It has had rods replaced because I see the oil pan has been welded on the inside. And the heat mark on the crank journal. The Rods look new to me. I assume it was repaired and run again then stored. I was told the engine was in a 57 chevy running a crower Mechanical fuel Injection Set up. The Manifold and line's come with the Engine The only thing missing is the Fuel pump. It has a clutch on it.(borg and Beck style) Also a old ANSEN Scattershield. With NHRA certified Cast in it. Top it all off M/T valve covers. What do you think It's worth I feel It is a L-88. Do the pad numbers being gone kill the value bad? Ed
