Hard to say really, one thing though...get all those accessory brackets...those are the right ones for '69 - '72 and they are a PITA to find.

I JUST SOLD A RUNNING ,STOCK 350 4-BOLT, YESTERDAY HERE IN NV. FOR $450. (WITHOUT ANY BRACKETS OR PULLYS) YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER PUTTING A $20 CHAIN & GEARS IN IT, & LEAVING IT IN THE TRUCK TILL SOLD. PEOPLE SEEM TO BE ALOT MORE EAGER TO BUY IT, IF THEY CAN HEAR IT RUN.

The rebuilders here get $200 for a core. core 350's generally run $150-$175 here.

It depends how many times its been re-bored. If its .060 over now with 50,000 miles on it theres not much left. A .030 is fine as it can take a.040(.010 more) next time and maybe a .060(.020 more) over at the most depending on the casting number. Many don't like .060 over due to heating problems. At least this is how I determine a blocks worth. FWIW.

These all seem like rather high prices for a questionable engine...personally, I wouldn't give more than 100 bucks...and I'd be hard pressed to pay that much.
As it sits, you can't prove anything about it without taking it apart, onless it'll fire, it is just a lump of iron.
We don't even know if it is a true 4 bolt.
I just paid 100 bucks for a d@mn good running 425 caddy motor...paid 40 bucks for a disasembled but complete 400 S.B. (long block) I paid 400 for my small block that is in the GMC...it was a bit more than a long block too, all I added was intake carb and distibuter, and some paint, and slapped it in the truck, that was complete with an Eldebrock cam, eldebrock double roller chain, mellings pump, ARP fastners on the inside, ported crappy heads (882's)...everything.
There are deals out there, onles you need an engine yesterday, i would walk away from anything over 100 bucks personally.
Onless you know for a fact about everything on/in this engine.
Maybe it's just me....
