The 391'S are worth quite a bit by themselves if it has a sure grip, powerlock is worth more than cone. dana will have a 354 not 355.  The 8 3/4 will be harder to sell since the perches were moved out on them. Most want a B body rear and move the springs in. So now it doesnt fit a b body and some will not want the rear the way it is.   with axles and brakes the rear is around 100 to 150. The gears would be around 400 to 600 or so depending on shape.

Just my opinion tho, some may say more

I'm with Al. Regardless of two sets of perches or one. Anywhere from $500-$800 depending on the quality of the grip. If it's one legger, drop $300. Place the car in neutral (chock front wheels). Then you jack up one side of the car until the rear tire is off the ground and try to rotate that tire by hand. A Sure Grip will not allow the lifted wheel to spin. An open rear will spin as will the driveshaft.

Can you also jack up the entire rear end and spin the rear wheel...if the both spin the same direction it is a sure grip and if they spin opposite directions, one legger?
