I would like to know value of a 283 short block, #3756519 date code C70 3/7/60. Stamped on the pad is 106396 F03I5CU. Cylinders have what appears to be a fresh 40 over bore. Short block includes pan, crank, rods, pistons.

Thanks

If you could find the original car that it came in, it would be worth a lot to that owner. The block came out of a 60 corvette with dual quads, 270Hp. Car #6396. Otherwise I would estimate the value between $300 to $500.00 Just my 2 cents... Thanks

Put it in the NCRS DriveLine. It might keep some NCRS guy honest (well almost!).
