If it is in okay shape you should grab it. 440 blocks will always be worth something.

I guess, don't send it to NJ? 440's are neither cheap nor free around here either, grab it!

A buddy of mine hauled 5 440's down to Spring Fling two years ago. All truck or C body motors and he sold every single one.

You can still find them here, it's just getting harder. That's all.

I like the guys that want them sonic tested, local cost $175, then want you to sell them the block for $150. There's someone on this forum that expected me to do that for them, nice try!

iagree Had this happen to me recently. 440s are definitely harder to find than they used to be and more expensive now naturally. I try to grab em when I find a decent deal on one, but I have enough stashed away that I can hold out for the cheap ones.
Sold all my 383s for dirt cheap and had trouble getting that for them.

Supply and demand pally, if you are "tripping over them" because they are "so easy to find" but no one wants to pay your price then it's obvious you think they are made of gold.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Yeah, around $800.00 seems to be the going rate these days. At one time I had (13) complete big blocks, 383, 400, 413 & 440's stacked up & laying around the garage & sold them all for $500-800 each over the years.Now that I went Hemi I really had no use for them.

However, I still have (2) 440 blocks left for my other Charger & Road Runner builds.

Or maybe he doesn’t want to sell them for $200.

Funny how a slightly different head bolt pattern and 3 cross bolted mains can quadruple (or more) the price of a block!

Gold? no they are made of iron and I have been hard pressed to get any one to spend $400 for one that already has machine work done to it that would need to be done to it anyway. I don't have any plans to use them but im not going to scrap them but I think 400 is a fair price for a cleaned and rough bored block. No not sonic checked but to each his own, just don't say they are hard to find. They are not...

One hears,.. piece of junk, can't build any HP in one, outdated, 50 year old tech, sonic check, all the negativity.
Take em all to the scrap yard and buy a rice rocket, run around sounding like a pi$$ed off bumble bee.
