273HP, boat anchor or?

Just did a 1956 Desoto 330 Hemi that sat for decades rusty and crusty in a barn. Cleaned up at +.030. Commando engines, especially complete, bring good money. Not sure what it would take to free up that short block up. Lots of really good parts there for sure.
Yes and no. The block and heads are 273 pieces. Nothing special as well as the steel crank. Good for a 273/318 or a light weight 340. The carb and intake are 4 barrel only as well as the rusty air cleaner. Dual point distributor and valve covers as well. These could probably be saved. You might be lucky to get $500 out of the whole thing. That's about all the goid parts are worth in their current condition.
