'65s are in a league of their own and only the 400hp with 4-spd options would add considerable value. The 340hp with a P/G will add a little valve over a 300hp small block, but not a lot. Those funny shaped valve covers always add an interest and nostalgia factor. Think of it as the difference between a 325hp 396 and an L-78.
The car in question would be very much underwater after a good restoration, especially with a replacement engine.
As for valves that were stated, an original good block is worth much more than $2500. but the value of the hi-perf heads has taken a dive. It's easy to find a good pair for $1500. or less. There are a lot more people in the hobby today who prefer to hot rod them rather than restore them and they go with the Edelbrock heads.
