440 block question on pricing

Depending on location, if it is a bare block make sure it has the main caps. Some also depends on the bore and the condition of the lifter bores. If the lifter bores are rusty carefully inspect because they can be an issue. If the block is std bore and has main caps plus looks decent on inspection I'd guess two to three hundred. I'm located in SW Ohio I bought two running 440's one from a truck that was bored .040" complete and another from a motorhome with transmission running for $500 each. One was cast crank other was steel with six pack rods. The trans was the short tailshaft but not a big deal, it was std bore never been touched and that's the one I used for my build. Deals are still out there just got to keep an eye out. Also the hp on a block doesn't mean much to me because it's just a stamp.
