Default How much would you pay
I've got a bare LS1 block with rods,pistons for a coffee table or could be used for a mock block. But not sure how much to ask with out sounding unreasonable.

If the block and pistons are not re-usable I would expect $300 and tell him to power wash the stuff. $250 and he hands them over in a part bin covered in grease and oil

Well the block isn't useable and it only has the 4 piston/rods that would hold the glass up if this makes sense?
