Hot Rods 348 W Engine ? $

I might have the chance to get my hands on a 348 engine. Would like to know what a fair price would be for this engine. Thanks for the help

 

200,000 mi. or fresh rebuild-tri-power? Little vague

 

Miles ? Guy says it has blow by so it is one of to things valves or rings. Tri power. No

Is it painted and nice looking and complete carb to pan? Grungy original? Rebuilt? In a car that hasn't been run for 20 years?

Sounds like a buildable core. On a good day, they're worth about 1/2 what 409s bring.
Without seeing the engine, I'd guess between $500.00 and $1000.00.

 

Just paid $250 for one from a junkyard---caked with grease-complete from carb to pan. Carb was shot but not one bolt gave me trouble coming apart--probably due to the grease and oil caked on. All standard and still a nice hatch on the bores. Couple of rusty/pocked valves but the heads are clean. I was advised to avoid the 58's as the heads have less cooling around the plug areas but I am no expert on these.

 

they are truck motors and well designed ---all heads ok for a driver...

 

I gave $250 for mine also,it came out of a big truck.

 

Thanks for the information guys. The guy changed his mind about selling for now.

Early 58 version without plug cooling is not so good.
Early truck version with double notches is not so good.
Everything else is good to go. $200-700 is a nice price range.
