Nice, but you better have one heck of a restoration going to need a $5000 siezed engine

Took the words right out of my mouth. I dunno the going rate for those things, but I don't think I'd pay more than a grand for it...and most of that is due to novelty.

I agree.....why would you allow it to sit and seize up for 25 years in the first place if you know what you have?

So I should offer him a grand

That would be more reasonable I think.

It's a crap shoot, even at a grand. You can buy an easily rebuildable 460 for alot less, build it how you want and use aftermarket scj heads on it.

I'd offer $500 and negotiate up to a grand...but as I said, only reason I'd go that high is because of 'what it is'.

Agreed. Spend $500 on a good 460 and build it into something real nasty with the remaining $4500.
