Default big block into small block car value

Long story short I found a big block 77 originally a l82 white ex red int for trade from someone local to me when I was out in my 73 mach 1. Problem is the guy doesn't want to sell it only trade and looks to be a really nice car. The motor is a 454 with aluminum heads and a descent sounding came in it, 17 inch torque thrust wheels, recently painted two tone black/red ex with red interior. Bottom line I wont trade my 73 but wont mind selling the fox to add another corvette.
Everyone has there own options on value and no pictures doesn't help but with the 3 scenarios below being In mint condition as his is.

original l48

Are you asking what these 3 cars are worth? Anywhere from scrap price to what ever the market will bare. Depends on condition and how badly you want it.

And how does a 73 Mach 1 fit into all of this?

Ran into the guy while stopping for gas on my way home, super nice car but cant sell or trade the mach 1 for it. Even though I would love to add a big block to my herd, this is the one car that got me into classics as a kid and is the same options/colors as the one I use to see as a kid.

Like others find, your question is unclear. You currently have a 1973 Mach One which you are holding on to and also own a Corvette which nobody knows what year or engine from your post or your profile. You then list 3 engines two of which pertain to the 77 that you are looking at and we can only assume the L48 is in whatever year Corvette you currently own. You state "you wont mind selling the fox", what is the "FOX"?
You dont state how many miles are on the 77.
You dont state what options are on the 77.
You dont state what transmission is in the 77.
So just a ball park figure for a 77 L82 4 speed 14,450.00
