To a guy looking for a street rod engine, or anything that's not being "restored", a comparable Chevrolet Performance crate engine is going to be in the $6K range. Even though your's is a "new" 45 year old engine why would he pay more if he only wants an engine, and can get improved performance/reliability with a newer crate? Now if you're wanting to turn your NOS LT1 into the maximum cash you need to be on the Camaro/Chevelle/GM specific sites where guys are wanting a date correct performance block to complete a "numbers correct" (as opposed to "numbers matching") restoration, and you might double the price, or even more with a documented OEM 2x4's "warranty engine". I think I'd do some selective posting, or perhaps invest in an ad in Hemmings to see who might be looking for one, and willing to pay a premium for it. Someone that's doing vintage racing in a Camaro or 'Vette?Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
