A while back I came across a Chevy block (I think a 327) that had been recently bored out. I don't know anything about it but I have some people asking what I will sell it for. The block has surface rust but the cylinders look good. How much did the machining cost/what is it worth?

Boring costs $8 per hole in my area. I can't imagine a SBC block being worth over $100. I've bought whole SBC motors for that.

I agree with candy. 327's are a dime a dozen. As a buyer and seller the first thing i ask is why was it bored. A bored small block other than a 350 or 400 block usually indicates damage to the bore. Not that its a deal killer but i can pick up complete 283 327s 305s. 2 bolt 350s for 300 - 400 bucks all day long on craigslist
