My bud/freind Tom has come to the conclusion,that He's "sick and tired of NOT having any room in His Basement & Garage. Seems He,like me couldn't help but take in some 'strays'...in this case,it's mostly the Mopar stuff He's accumulated over the past 10 years. He's got a pair of 440's,a 383,some 727-Transmissions,a bare(de-greased,Honed/Threads tapped,ect...)'72 4OO Block,some 383/440/400 Crankshafts,and a 68/70 Charger 8-3/4 Housing(it's bare,no Axles....). He's also has some Gearsets(various...)for the Housing. What's a FAIR price for everything? I'd figured I'd check with the B/S crowd first. 'Ole Tom doesn't 'do' the Internet 'thing' however. ~J/W.

Re: "Buddy Holley" wants OUT...
He has quite a bit of money in that list you have there.
I have seen "running" 440's of unknown internal condition for about a grand around here.
383's cores are going for 350 or so (I have spotted rebuilt engines for 3K, and a core for as low as 150)
400 a few bucks more, they are more desirable than the 383 cuz you can bore them more...(correct me if I am wrong)
the 727's if cores...I see for a bout 175..."good" ones for 300
Don't know about the cranks....If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark DonohueComment

Re: "Buddy Holley" wants OUT...
Awhile back,I talked about all the Trannies we've accumulated over the years,about 2 weeks ago,I sold off nearly all of the 727/A-904's I had laying around here. I got $1200 for 12 Transmissions. Trouble is,the Shop Owner dosen't want any more,so,it seems 'Ole Tom is kinda stuck with 'em for awhile at least. I have 'an interest in the running 440(it's complete with all the Pulleys,Alternator,ect,and it even has 'an old-school Edlebrock Torker Intake/and Holley 800-Carb. this came out of a '69 Charger which ended up in Scrap....),that particular combo cost Him $900...complete with a 727 with a Shift-Kit,Chrome V/Covers,ect,which IS pretty good. This was back in '94. Nearly all of the other stuff is post-'96. The 400 Block IS worth a good bit,even moreso because it was given the once-over at a Machine-Shop,it's been sonic Checked,cleaned up/blasted,and Power-Honed. He's got the Recipts for it. There's also another '72 400,which has been stripped(the Intake/906 Heads,Tin/Water-Pump have been junked....too rusted,and nobody wants any of those 906's anymore...cheaper to buy aftermarket stuff....),this will be taken to the Machine-Shop in time. Why? I don't know. Ithink He just want's it to be more desirable when it's got "Machine-Shop-Paperwork." He's also got a Glasstek Bumper & Hood('Flat Hood'...Pin-On-Style...)for a 70-72 Valiant. These are brand new,they were going to go on the Brown '71 Valiant Coupe I sold Him 3 years ago.........I wound up buying it back from Him ;D ;D. He's now heavly into the Rockabilly/traditional/40's Rod scene :o. ~J/W.Comment

Re: "Buddy Holley" wants OUT...
I would love to take some of that scrap off his hands...a 383 a 440 and a couple of those 727's....wish I had the space to horde parts like that...he has stuff he wants to unload and I see a dream come true...
put them trannys on the local craigslist and see what happens...maybe there is a guy like me who would love to find a 727 core for 100 bucks...
I think 500 bucks for a machined 400 block would be a fair price...most of the running ones I have seen are going for 400ish..
the running 440...man, would I like to get my paws on that....
you're killin' me.
