'47 flathead
I have a freshly rebuilt '47 flathead. It has less than 100 miles on it. Anyone out there have an idea of what it's worth?

Re: '47 flathead
Without hearing it run and without documentation, including photos it's hard to say.

The engine has been professionally rebuilt. I don't have a video at this time, but I do have documentation. I am just looking for a ballpark figure as to its worth. Thanks.

If you have all the receipts for a recent rebuild, I'll throw out 2K.

Re: '47 flathead
Properly rebuilt, it should be in the $2000 to $3500 range. Location still matters.

Re: '47 flathead
Your best place to look for prices on anything is flea-pay for general information. I build my own engines and seldom trust those touted to be professionally rebuilt. I've run into "professional rebuilders" that have never seen a flathead before. They are too different from modern monkey motion engines for some folks to fathom. It's too easy to end up with a rattle can special these days. A krylon overhaul looks good in a photograph.
