What is a rebuilt 8v-53 worth

[jerseyboy]

Does anyone know what I can get for a rebuild 1969 8v-53 (2 years ago with 4 hours on it)?
Just looking for options at this point. Thanks

We're you the member looking for one a while back.

It's not a big. seller but I guess if you need one ...

Yes it was me Scott. Now I am exploring whether it makes sense to sell the boat for parts. My port engine was rebuilt
2 years ago. My starboard engine is shot and can't be rebuilt so if I can't find a good block with a crank I'm not sure if it makes sense to put another 25 - 30K into a boat that is probably only worth 40 - 45K with a rebuilt starboard engine. Really just thinking out loud.

Dieselpro has a rebuilt 8v53 block on their site for $3,233.
