'77 350-$250-300
'68 350-$600-700ish
'75 350-$250-300
'66 327 shortblock-$300 to the right buyer. Small journal stuff can be hard to move.
intake-$100
I'd offer $500 for the lot and see what happens. My .02

Offer him scrap vulue and save him a trip to the yard.
Personally I can't see any of that stuff being worth much more than that unless you find someone looking for those specific casting numbers. Good luck with that.
