Default How much is it worth?

I have a 69 427 that is a turn key engine right now. I was wondering how much I could expect to get for the complete motor or if I just sell the matching number heads, block, and crank how much I could expect to get for it. I was orignally going to use it for my pro street nova but with it being somewhat of a collector item I didn't want to ruin it I would rather sell it to a collector or something.

Original 1969 Corvette 427 Chevy Big Block with matching numbers 427 BBC 435hp heads. The block is an original 4-bolt main and has been cleaned, checked, magnafluxed, .040 overbore 4.290, and lined honed and is assembled and ready to drop in and go. The block and heads have both been painted with aluminum engine paint as well. I had originally assembled this to go in my pro street nova. This block has 0 Miles on it since I have bought it and is in great condition. I do have pictures of the block and heads assembled and disassembled. This is complete from carburetor to pan which includes:

-1969 Chevy 427 Corvette 4 bolt main Big Block
-1969 Chevy 427 Big Block 427 435hp Heads
-Holley 110 GPH Mechanical Fuel Pump
-Mr. Gasket Chrome Stock Depth Oil Pan w/ Moroso Windage Tray
-Moroso High Volume Oil Pump and Pick-up
-Mr. Gasket Chrome Timing Chain Cover
-Pete Jackson Gear Drive
-1969 427 matching GM Forged Steel Crank
-GM Forged Dimple Connecting Rods
-Keith Black Forged 11:1 Pistons
-Comp Cams Magnum Hydraulic Camshaft
-Comp Cams Magnum Hydraulic Lifters
-Comp Cams Magnum Pushrods
-Crane Cams Aluminum Blue Racer Roller Rockers
-Comp Cams Dual Valve Springs
-Manley Street Flow Valves
-Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap Intake
-Quick Fuel Q-Series 750 CFM Carburetor


All numbers on block and heads are ORIGINAL and have not been re-stamped. Neither block nor heads have been decked.

Right Head: 3964291, GM4T, F39

Left Head: 3964291, GM3T, F49

Block: 3963512, T0708LR, 195725805, F149

You have asked this question several times now. Don't like the answers? You should probably post this question on the NCRS site in a "toned down" version without all the speed parts. Then you might get a nibble....

I'm guessing this is a subliminal sales pitch based on all the posts from this guy.

The motor is probably worth $4000 to the right person. In this economy on the open market only about $2500.

It's only matching #'s with the car.
