Really tough to put a price on one . . . unless you know the block is good (magged, sonic tested and pressure tested).

I won't pay more than about $200 for an unknown as I'm going to put another $250 into it and about a day of time screwing around with it - just to determine whether it is good or not. And if it is not, then I have a big turd to get rid of . . . of which I have too many already.

If the block has been cleaned, checked out and has machine shop paperwork with it, then I think the block is worth $1000 or so . . . if somebody understands what it takes to actually get one to that stage.
