Default 305 engine value?

We are finally getting around to going through my Dad's various storage places and I have come across a V-6 GMC engine. It looks complete, except for the carb and breather. We are just starting into the building and there may be more.

My question is, Is there any value in this used, condition unknown, motor, or should I send it to the scrap yard?

Thanks,

Greg

For cryin out loud, DON'T scrap that engine!! They are scarce as hen's teeth, and we're doing all that we can to preserve these durable old engines!! Anyone who replaces these engines with SBC engines is committing an UNFORGIVEABLE SIN!!

not much due to low interest in them. I've bought a spare for $100 because parts are hard to come by.

post is on local marketplace. Give it away to someone who needs it before you scrap it for $20
