I have a 396 BBC with all brackets for A/C, etc attached to a 700r4. The motor is complete - carb to pan. Comes with a modified drive shaft to bolt right up in a SWB .

Casting is 3855961 on the block.

I bought it a year or so ago and it was pulled from a running truck. I won't be needing it after all so I am going to be selling it.

What is the going rate for a 396 with all the brackets and a OD transmission?

Thx!

From what I can see and not knowing anything about the internals somewhere around $1000.If it had all correct truck brackets etc a little more but it has mismatched stuff,some car stuff.if you hook up a gas line and battery where you can fire it off for a minute it would be better,even better still set it on a frame so you can hook up a radiator fuel and battery and let them here it run for a few minutes will help it sale and make it easier to get more money.I have set several motors on and old bare frame like this and it made the sale .people shell out the cash alot easier when they can here it run.

Thanks for the reply - I have a spare SWB frame I can set the motor and trans in to fire it up.

Around $1K. Do you know any history on the trans? If it has been rebuilt, you might do better selling the trans separate... and the valve covers too, just put old steel covers in their place.
