It really depends on the condition of the components like any other engine eg bore size, cracks, spun bearings, modifications, repairs, etc.

Where's are you located?  I'm interested in buying it.  I'll PM you my email and phone.

You'll want to get it magnafluxed before you buy or sell it to make sure there are not any cracks.  The engine was taken apart for a reason.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

It really depends on condition and what's included. Myself I wouldn't buy an assembled Hemi engine. I would want it disassembled and all parts magnafluxed and measured. Carburetors that are for a 68 would have maybe half the value as correctly dated, 4 speed 71 carbs. So there is a huge variance in potential values. Manifold heat tubes for example would be worth a few hundred dollars and the correct clamps are worth some money as well. Even the air filter would have value if it's a decent original.

Would you mind putting the last three digits of the 6 digit VIN stamp on the passenger side of the motor?
