Or more like how much should I pay.
Got a local guy with a completely disassembled 1972 340 the is trying to sell. Everything except the carb and timing cover. 915 heads are 1.88/1.60 and are bare. Has been in storage and everything needs to be cleaned up bad. Unknown specs if it has been bored or crank has been turned. I have only seen pictures at this point. He of course thinks it is super rare and is asking 800 for the package, wont separate parts. I'm thinking core value only since everything will have to be sent out, checked and rebuilt and offered him $500 for the package, which he turned down. I'm really only interested in the block and don't see much value in the misc. parts the he is including. He seems to be firm, as do I, so before I walk away just want to make sure that I'm not up in the night and passing on a good deal... Thanks.
