Whats a 350 block/crank and factory heads worth?

I've got a 350 block and crank with the factory heads that came out of my '94 truck, all in good shape, would just need new rings and bearings to be used again, 2-bolt main, got swirl desing heads. Just wondering what the going price would be for all of it together may be.
Thanks

Swirl heads make good anchors.

Block maybe a couple hundred or better.

Say, my job may take me to Fort Worth one of these days soon - wanna hang on to it for me until I get there?

Its just the block, crank, rods, pistons, and heads. It does still have the factory cam and lifters and springs, but would all need to be replaced. Its got just under 100k on it. If you want it for $200 its yours, let me know.
Thanks

You guys that want it, it is a good block. I believe that the trucks are one-piece main seal, roller cam blocks. They work very well, especially in TPI situations. Make sure you sell the lifters and retainers with the block, because they are reusable, but should always stay with the block. If the block doesn't come with them it is a rip-off, at almost any price, because a new set of roller lifters will set you back more than a junkyard 350 will. I think that htey are only made by GM.

It is the one piece rear main seal, has the provision for the roller lifter retainer but not drilled out as it does not have roller lifters. And roller lifters for a 350 can be purchased almost anywhere and are made by most manf, Comp, Crane etc...
BTW, I can get $100 core fee at the local remanf. engine block shop and that would be I'm sure very low $ from there..

Shoot me an e-mail with some more info such as is it complete what kind of cam is in it ect.... I am looking for an engine I can drop in my car run as long as it is in decent shape. I could swing 200 if I could drop it in and run it.
