Hey guys, i have a chance to purchase a complete 1968 396 325hp, it orig. came out of a Impalla. It is currently running and drivable with a power glide in a truck. It is all factory and seems untouched since '68.
Would it be a good one to get?
What would be a fair price?

Thanks.

Tin brings $50, High Torque Delco starterat least the $35 core charge, Oval port heads go for $500, crank sells for another $500, Intake and carb will bring about $100 all on e-Bay. That assumes your buying it for scrap. If it runs I think a $750 would be a fair initial offer, but expect to go up from there.
