Items like that are too difficult to suggest a price, even as an estimate. I doubt that anybody could give you an estimate that would please everyone.
A big motor like that, there would be the detraction that it is so big and heavy that very few members would really be interested. The big four-cylinder antiques have their fans, but most of us are getting to an age where size and weight are the biggest considerations (after price) involved in buying a motor. Geographical location is often another consideration, and I don’t think anybody knows where you are located, so you will need to take that variable out of the equation.
One suggestion I will make is don’t listen to suggestions from people you know will never spend a nickel to buy it. If somebody tells you the motor is worth (for example) $500, then tells you THEY would never spend $500 on that motor, then the motor isn’t really worth what they said. If it was, they’d be willing to spend it. I won’t suggest a price figure because I wouldn’t be prepared to offer it.
Sorry, but you just have to ask for it what would make you happy to sell it for, and go from there. If somebody thinks its worth your asking price, it will get sold. If it doesn’t sell, then you have a decision to make on whether to maintain your price level or not. Really, all there is to it.
Hope this helps. eh.
