Jim, Dave, et/all; y'all are answering a 5 year old posts!
Edgar, to answer your question since this 'derailed' from the beginning, a LBM will sell for anywhere from $2,500 - $6,000 depending on the condition. Items such as a banged-up bar or a bent bar from mis-handling affects the price. Also, rough gears inside the transmission will affect the surface finish of the bearing. A good bar micrometer, un-cracked bar bearings, rails and drive motor also affect pricing. I will also tell you that you will need to have the cutters made for these if you do not have them with the set as Kwik-Way no longer services this tool set.
Additionally, one of the main items that is needed are the fixtures used to locate the bar when being used on a Model-A/B block. Without them, set-up is almost impossible as it affects the crankshaft & timing gear clearance. The fixtures alone are hard to find and can fetch as much as a $1,000.00 for a good set.
