I personally know people who have either given away perfectly good running 318s, or junked them, because nobody wanted to buy them.  There really isn't much demand for them.  I wouldn't pay $200 for a 318.  If I had to buy a new engine, the smallest one I'd go for would be a 340.

I probably wouldn't buy one either, but if there was a 1970 318ci engine brand new from Chrysler unwrapped I'd like to place a bet that $200 wouldn't be the top bid for very long.  :thumbsup: "Good Running" and NOS are a completely different ball game.

Here's a 1973 block, 91,500 miles on it, not NOS, 2 bids, 2 days left and it's already half way to the $200 mark.....

There are also rebuild kits worth $100 more than the $200.....
