I am building a 502 for my 69 Camaro, in order to bring my credit card balance back down to a sane level, I may sell the motor that is currently in it. It is a 2 bolt main cast crank 1972 dated "block and heads" 402 big block bored to 408 with forged trw pistons that make 9.5 to 1 compression in the large chamber "118 +" oval port heads, new stock valves, a comp 280 magnum cam with all matching comp cams valvetrain and magnum roller tip rockers, arp head studs, Edelbrock performer rpm intake, and the outside of the motor has all stainless fasteners. It only has 800 miles on it, but I got the 502 core free, so I decided to go large. I can give exact date codes if needed. Should I sell this as a "vintage" motor or just a good strong big block, and any ideas on an asking price? I have about four grand in it, but I don't expect to get that out of it.

Well, I have all the invoices and a few pics taken during assembly so that may help, but I know what you mean, there are some people out there that will tell you whatever you want to hear in order to make a few more bucks. Thanks!.....Tim
