My 1970 is a few weeks out from having it's driveline completely updated. Going in is a fresh 428, a rebuilt M20, Yukon LS and 3.55s. I'm doing a CVF serpentine conversion on the 428 along with DUI HEI, DUI 1 wire alternator, Eddy carb, FlowKooler pump, Carter fuel pump, etc. So the 400 that's in the car will be coming out complete from oil pan to air cleaner. She still runs strong although the Quadra Jet and points both need some TLC (or replacement.) I didn't bother after buying the car a couple months back since I knew it would all be updated in short order... The motor has an Edelbrock Performer intake and a mild cam (don't know the specs... just going by the idle). It's not consuming oil or smoking and has 40psi of pressure at idle / 60 under load. Runs cool at 160 (new Griffen rad is helping with this.) The motor also has 6X heads into stock manifolds.
Anyways, the shop I bought the rebuilt trans from is taking my M20 back as a core and giving me decent money for it. Now I'm trying to figure what to ask for the motor? I know it's an unknown so we don't know the condition of the internals... But I'm just trying to figure what it's worth if I pop it on CL or FBM? I'm not looking to squeeze every last penny out of it. I just don't want to scrap or leave behind a decent 400. I haven't looked at the date code or casting number but it's a WT block. Any thoughts or advice on value? Thanks in advance guys...
