You never get anywhere near out of them what you put into them & shipping kills any deal so your limited to a local sale. Not being a 460 will hurt the price. People usually are leary of buying someones rebuilt engine. Hearing it run will help but it depends on your area. In my area not much, around $500.

Ditto , You will make four times as much disassembling it and parting it out .

The shame of it is your motor will sell for less than a "remanufactured" stock 460 from one of the big name parts stores , even though yours has twice the power .
