You are going to need a minimum of the following casting numbers:
Block
Heads
Intake manifold
Carbs
Exhaust manifolds
Water pump
Crank pulley

Then, and only then (regardless of which forum you are on) can we assist in a valuation.

Without seeing it, knowing what type of build it really has, I'll say in running condition (where it can be heard running) $3,000-$3,500 with the extra intake, carbs, and linkage. Not running $2,000 with all parts as a "mystery motor".
