The good thing about selling it for 10,000 is that you will have one of those " I shouldn't have done that" stories. Roy

If I was a buyer I'd want to know the engines' history and current condition. Has it been rebuilt, bored, damaged, raced or is it a fresh NOS crate motor.
I think it would do well on Bring a Trailer if properly presented.

I have more of those "I shouldn't have done that" stories than I care to think about. Good luck with whatever you decide to do with the engine.

Oh sure, and as we know a newly discovered L88 or ZL1 comes out of the wood work frequently......and suddenly has all sorts of documentation too.
