I'm about to pick up a "ran when pulled- - - -used oil" 235 that's had the cylinder head removed. $50.00 cash and carry. If I as a buyer can hear it run and do some basic diagnostics like a compression test, check oil pressure, and listen for expensive noises, I'd give $200.00 or so max. Lots of people give stovebolt engines to me to haul them off.
