Sounds like a runner.This is an 870 casting no. engine I assune? One with a mid to late 1961 cast date is more valuable than those with \casting dates in early 1962,more people looking for early blocks since this was first year of the 870,s hope this helps 66racer

Yes it's an 870 block.Date code is Feb.15 62

Anybody else have any info?

Are the heads 462's or a typo? they should be 461 casting and if the heads are dated correct to the block then it is worth more.

blazerv8

They are 462's dated 67.

I started with my '63 870 block. Found a great deal on some 461x heads ($200) had the heads rebuilt with guideplates, screw in studs etc. had the block bored to .030, new crankshaft, new speed pro hypereutectic pistons, everything balanced etc. My machine shop bill was $2400. The finned balancer is worth about $200, correct carb ($550), correct intake ($450), correct exhaust manifold ($300), corect high volume oil pan ($200) all the other small parts I will have almost $5k in my engine rebuild.

The block alone is probably worth $600-800.
