The motor is ugly. Was told it ran before they pulled it out. My buddies cousin owns it. He said $450. I was going to offer $400 Is that worth? I rebuilt my 326 about 500 miles ago and was thinking off bagging it and put more power in my 67 bird.
Thanks.

Probable need more information like the casting numbers and dates from the block and heads to determine compression and HP rating.
It has a Chevy carb and the later 11 bolt water pump.
How long has it been out?

I would be more concerned about what is going on inside the motor then how it looks outside. With it out you can't do a proper compression test. Looks like a non Pontiac q-jet on top?
Has it ever been rebuilt?
Was it bored?
Was the crank turned?
Cast piston and rods?
557 casting block?
how many reliefes in the piston?
What cam is in it?
How many miles does it have?
If its not a 557 block and never rebuilt it would still make a good foundation for a rebuild in the future if the price is right. I think I would only pay 300 or less since its yellow:)

It will cost you more to rebuild a 326 than a 400.
There is a local guy here that has a 69 WT with 48 RAIII Heads for $1000.

Man, you got the ugly part right.
Are you able to pull the heads and look at the not so ugly parts?
