Default Re: Flathead engine worth

ford cranks are easy to find and I could pick one up for about $200..to turn the crank would cost between 150-200...to hot tank block ,mag,hone,surface,, you may pay 300- 450...rod and main bearings may cost up to $160.....your engine block is worth 400 assumming its good and you have good rods and pistons....these prices are just estimates based on some work on a 51 merc motor i had recently worked on....I come up with a value of $1360...make an offer of $950. if the block is good just my 2 Cents==gump
