Default Whats a 1971 2 Bolt Main 350 worth??

Been cleaning out the garage as of late and came across a 2 Bolt Main 2 Barrel Carb 350 that I pulled out of my Nova back when I first bought it. The 350 was actually out of a 1971 Impala at least that is what the numbers told me back when I looked.

Anyways as I have been out of the "Muscle Car" 1960-70s loop for quite some time now I am just wondering what something like this would bring these days before I list it.

EDIT: It ran when pulled and has a majority of the accessories.

200-500$ would be the going rate, at least in my area...

Is it locked up from sitting?

Unfortunately I'm not made of money so I prefer to at least try to make money on it before I give it away....I would be happy with $200 as the guy stated so let the try begin

If it still has the crank pulley you can try turning that by hand or put a socket on the crank bolt and do it that way.

looks like it"s in the rebuildable catergory so why not take off the heads and measure the bores ,if it has stock bores with little wear,thats a great selling point, sold my sbc in a week that way.

Depending on where you are I agree with 200-500, I would list it at $350 OBO and take anything $275 and above.

I will pay that all day long for a bare 010 block from 1971 down...

The nickel content and wall thickness gets iffy after that...

Long block core value right now is $350 or a 2 bolt, $410 for a 4 bolt. I will say, 2pc seal stuff is the hardest to come across now, we discontinued all our HP and Marine engines using this block because of it, so value will go up a little.
