I PURCHASED A 1967 EL CAMINO RECENTLY. THE SELLER HAD THIS SHORT BLOCK AND WAS GOING TO HAVE IT REBUILT, BUT NEVER DID. ANYWAY, I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I HAVE. I THINK IT'S A 1969 OR 1970 396 OR 402 2 BOLT MAIN BIG BLOCK STAMPED "HIGH PERFORMANCE PASSENGER" AND THE NUMBER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT WAS STAMPED ON THE BLOCK IS 11027CTW. I AM TRYING TO DETERMINE THE VALUE OF THIS ENGINE (NOT REBUILT) AND ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT IT. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
This says 1970 396 -

Thanks for the info SBC. Do you know how to put a value on something like this??? I am thinking of re selling it as I have no use for it. Trying to determine if I should have it rebuilt and sell it or sell like it sits?!?!?
I have no idea as to the value - but someone here will reply soon . . .
I bought the same short block .060 over, professionally built with TRW pistons, billet crank, dimple con. rods etc. for $500. I don't think there's alot of hidden value to that engine. It would probably be most valuable keeping it in the original vehicle. Just my opinion!:cool:
