Big block chevy question

[reconman]

I have a 454 BBC bare block and cast heads. Both have been magnafluxed and have no cracks. The block is a 4 bolt main that has never been bored. What would this be worth approx.? Wanted to get some idea cause I'm considering letting it go. Thanks in advance for the info!

It really depends on the casting number on the heads. The small port heads are not worth much. If they are 049 or 781 casting they will be worth a little more. You probably could get anywhere from $200-$300 for the magnafluxed block. Maybe more to the right person. Look into the casting numbers on the heads to get a selling price. I hope this helps.

The heads casting number is 6272292. That was from a 1971 454. .206/.172 intake/exhaust.

mortec.com shows those to be
6272292....70-78...oval...OPEN...402, 454

Not really a desirable head.

For reference I just paid $200 for clean bare casting 781's........then had them built up nasty.
