Those are only 276 cubic inches if they're '52-54, and there's very little aftermarket parts available for them, either current or vintage. Cracked heads were fairly common on them. Worth? IMO, maybe $50 each...

 

If they are the original DeSoto engines they would be 276 cubic inches. Best part is they do not have the long bell housing block extension common to the '51/'53 Chrysler models. I expect Egge Machine could provide rebuild parts for them. They are expensive to rebuild though, so one would want them 'cheep'!

cool guys, was thinkin of buyin them just for the engines, not so much now......

 

The grilles and front bumper pans for those cars are very valuable if they're intact. Probably worth more than the engines.

However, im sure you'd get $200-$300 each for those 276 engines, the valve covers are worth more than $50
