I am not sure what happened to this posting before. If I am breaking the rules, please let me know. I thought I have seen this type of question before.

I don't think you're breaking any rules, but maybe you could provide more info about the engine if you want an answer that's narrowed down to a reasonable guess. As is, the best guess is scrap iron price to around $5,000.

Removed running from a 1947 coupe for a small block chevy 12 years ago. Stored indoors on a shelf ever since. Head off cylinder walls look good, very small ridge.

Blocks go for about 150.00 that's without heads, intake, pan, oil pump, water pump.
Never know what you are getting it could be cracked.

If it is magnafluxed and complete/ not rusty inside, perhaps as much as $500.

I could easily sell any known good 59 block for between $300 to $500. JM

I bought a running one last summer for $650. Sure it's all apart and at the machine shop right now but aside from some pitted valve seats was a great purchase.
