Default 4 digit engine on ebay

Just thought you all might want to see this. Any guesses what the final price will be?

I had a 4-digit bare block several years ago, maybe 10, and thought it worth a fortune but only got $75 for it.

A four digit engine would have greater value if it was attached to a four digit chassis.

Mark, Do you still have it? Or is the "new" owner now trying to sell it?

So if this is rare on one end of the spectrum, what would a 1931 December engine be worth? This engine is cast different and has a special pan and dipper tray. It was only built in this pattern for 1 month.

Now I'm even more sure that my guess is what it should go for after learning you are the one selling it.

Wish the head gasket was off to take a look at the top of the block. On the head is that a scratch or a crack from the water port to the inside cylinder?
