olds 303 engine... what's it worth??

hey i bought a project that came with a 303 olds in it. it's rebuilt with an edelbrock intake and 3 holley 97 carbs on it. new starter, fuel pump, water pump, and a distributor. wondering what it's worth?

 

That's a good question... probably worth some cash, I'm sure. Those 303's are awesome little rot rod motors... seen them a lot on the rat rod types. To the right guy building a project I'm sure it's worth something at least.

 

Around here that would easily fetch $500-1000 particularly if it was a stick setup with Cad/LaSalle box.

 

Why not leave the olds in it?. don't tell us your gonna replace it with a bowtie i hope not!!!!

 

I'd tell you it aint worth nuthin' but Atlanta is just too damn far to drive.
Its a keeper friend, if for no other reason you already have it. Run what ya brung.
Super motors, and if I'm not mistaken it does fit the Old School criteria.

 

i'll give you gas money, the sbc in my olds, and a big hug if you deliver it...

 

i'm not really sure what i'm going to do at this point. it's got an adaptor plate with a 46 ford******* hooked to it. the problem is i need a flywheel that fits the olds. any help would be appreciated

 

Ron, drop an add on the classifiesd for the flywheel I know there are/have been some offered on the board in the past.
Run the motor

 

Bigron: i have a flywheel for one. it's presently burried on an engine in my shop. if interested, email me @ merc1@concentric.net

 

lakes modified,
dig out that flywheel please,
bigron keeps talkin' that SBC trash!

 

Stealthcruiser: damn, now your gonna make me get my backhoe out to find that thing. well it will be worth it if i can keep one more person from making the bowtie mistake. i'll report back by the end of the week on the excavation work.

 

Ok guy's , i got the flywheel dug out of it's hole in my shop. it's a marine unit. much lighter than the stock units. my stock one weigh's 32 lbs, while the marine unit tips the scales at 25lbs. the engine it came off of ,came out of a fishing boat. it appears the it's all made by Barr Marine. the flywheel is a GM unit tho, but has been machined much lighter than the stock ones. this one even has a double bolt pattern for the pressure plates. ok now what's next?. anyone interested, or do i still have to dig the other one out, that i know is stock?

 

tell him bigron,ya' hump!
or i'll hold your headlights till you clear that vast noggin of yours of those evil SBC delusions!

 

i emailed him chuck. call roger and remind him to look for it
