Re: whats it worth?
You might get $1500 on it if you have the receipts and it hasn't been used yet. Engines haven't been going for much recently, I have a 468 small block with a super ram on it and haven't been able to get rid of it for 1/4 of what I spent on it. If you do get $1500, consider yourself really lucky.

Re: whats it worth?
Id say anywhere between 360-420 HP at the flywheel depending on your induction.
