Hey guys, I have a Olds 350 DX block with new pistons, rings, and bearings taking up space in my shop.

Anyone have any idea what it would be worth? I need to get it out of my way, but have no idea what to ask for it.

If fully rebuilt with no heads,its probably worth a grand.With reconditioned heads and oil pan,its worth at least $1500.Problem is,not many guys are into the olds diesel.I've spent a fortune of money in both of my 5.7 engines.

I've had two sets of cylinder heads gone through and both sets cost me $1200 a pair.By the time I had machine work done on the block,had the crank worked on,had bushings put in the rods and resized,along with new injectors and injection pump,arp fasteners............I was up to the $3000 mark or more on just one engine alone.I did the same thing with the remaining 5.7 I have.
