What kind of car is it in? $300 is a decent price for both.
The Olds Bigblocks MUST be properly balanced and assembled or it will come apart at high RPM (yup, speaking from experience).... 65mph in LOW, KABOOM.
Check the heads... if they are "F" Heads, they are worth big bucks.
Check the exhaust manifolds.. you are looking for "W", "X", "Y" and "Z".. they are worth bucks too.
If it has an original Quadrajunk, it might be worth some bucks too.
If the car happens to be a 442 or even a Cutlass/F85, the parts are very sellable on ebay.
