377

i have a 396 complete engine the block is a 68 and heads r 65 O port. the block was decked so no #. it runs great and very clean in side. the trans is a M -20 year is 63. what is the value? want to sell or trade them for sb parts looking to build a 383 thanks

blue by you

it's a mixed bag motor, so I'm not sure it has a certain value, but it is still a BB. Always wanted one since I had my 427 nova which was from your town. Good luck more will chime in

If these parts are in a running car together, they are probably worth more to the interested consumer.

Not that a 396 and an M20 aren't desirable, but a 396 is sort of a ugly duckling in the world of big blocks. Id be inclined to think that most people are going to lean toward seeking out a readily available 454 versus a 396.

Do you have any details and documentation of the build combo, or is this a mystery motor that you took ownership of? In my opinion, if this was in a running car, and it made all the right noises and didn't have any issues, I'd probably be willing to spend $1500 if I really had to have it.

For me, the only way I'd be buying a 396 would be to plop it into some big bodied convertible or a full size pickup with a pooped sbc. However, not everyone is the same, and maybe someone else is dreaming about a 396 for years.

Either way, make it look pretty and take someone for a ride to make the sale.

The M20 is going to be a course spline, and Id say should be able to fetch $700 whether on your garage floor, or running in your car.

the trans is a course spline .10 spline input 27 out. the engine ran its not in a car now. i know it will be hard to sell.i would take it apart for a buyer.

Also, NOT a 68. 65 Vettes and Z16 Chevelles are the exceptions to the 396 rule. That's a beautiful 65 Vette. Chip.
