Default Value of 2-Bolt 302W Block/Crank

Asking before I do anything physical, because it's heavy and sort-of tucked out of the way.

Got a '68 (from memory) 302W block with crank, no overbore, standard journals. Think it's even got a cam in it. No other bits

Once upon a time (don't we all love fairytales ) this would have been someone's ideal starting point for a motor build. I realise the marketplace has shifted massively, and this is no longer the typical scenario.

Are these worth anything above scrap, really? If so, what sort of money?

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

Windsor blocks are thin wall castings. The bores can be thin, especially after being overbored to the max. A good standard bore block that is clean in the water jackets is still a good base for a stroker. The crank and cam are likely pretty worthless to anyone unless they are doing a Resto. I’d say that block is definately worth a few hundred but don’t know exactly. Put it on marketplace and it’ll go for sure mate.

Late 60,s early seventys blocks were supposed to be a little thicker around the mains compared to the later roller blocks , so it might be worth a bit more to the right person ?
