I know this was posted a while back but I've been watching for a response just out of curiosity. I did a quick internet search to find out a little info but placing a value on this engine in it's current state is very subjective. I think to your average Chev guy it's a cool novelty but since it's a 2-bolt main block it's cheaper to get a nice crate motor from GM (whoops, gm) and plunk it into the vehicle of your choice. Now if you're trying to restore a '68 Z and need a period correct block the value would increase significantly. What would be the intended purpose of this unique power plant if you purchased it?
