Need help figuring out prices on motors

I’m trying to sell motors for my dad and need help with the value of them. This is what he has 283, 327, 350, 366 tall deck, 396, 400, 427, & 454. Some are complete some are just blocks.

Re: Need help figuring out prices on motors

:smh:

None (with the remotely possible exception of the 350, assuming it's even a Chevy one in the first place) are 82-92 Camaro/Firebird engines. Therefore this question doesn't belong on this site.

Be that as it may, I'll pass along a dose of the truth.

Stuff like that is worth what a willing buyer is willing to pay a willing seller. No more, no less. Doesn't matter what somebody here says it's "worth". If somebody won't come off the hip, then BY DEFINITION, it's not worth it.

Just like recreational drugs, cryptocurrencies, payday loans, steak, a house, ... you name it.

That said, the devil (and g o d) are in the details. If the 283 IS IN FACT out of a 283 HP 283 from 57, it's worth more than my house and all my cars put together. If OTOH it's from a 2-bbl out of some 66 Chevy II, ... not so much. Same for all the rest except the 366. That's worth less as a 366 than it is as scrap iron.

You beat me to it. Those were the worst lifter-eaters of all of them, and were disappointing in anything I've ever driven with that engine,

TBI 366 ran circles around the TBI 350 I replaced with it in a G30 Cut-away RV.
