1967 383 WIW

[erik70rt]

I have a lead on a 1967 383 block with crank and caps, set of 906 heads, stock 4BBL intake and stock exhaust manifolds.  I can get them for $650.  I see lots of blocks priced that for themselves that just sit, and I see complete 383s selling for as low as $200-400 (but always sold before I find them ). 

Are they getting to where $650 is a decent deal? for an incomplete 383?

IMO, no, they aren't that valuable. 383 was probably the most produced block behind the 318, so they are not hard to find and not a lot of people want them when 500" engines are so easy to build. Now to some guys the heads, intake, and exhaust are pretty valuable.  I think the stock heads underflow and stock intake and exhausts don't even register on my radar.

But then again, I've been seeing Grand Wagoneers selling for $5000+ and I would never pay that for one of them either. So my barometer might be a bit out of touch.

Does it have HiPo exhaust manifolds? If so what year?

Those manifolds have some value.

Otherwise a 67 motor doesn't have a valuable car tied with it unless it was an 383 A-body motor with special motor mount bracket.

Seems like a $200-250 package.

That's what I was thinking.  I don't really need it, so I'll hold off. 

Thanks!!!
