I've decided to sell my flatehead. I just need some advice on how much to ask. Here is a description:
-1952 flathead
-motor ran good when it was pulled but bearings must be bad because it had almost no oil pressure
-has new oil pump and starter
-comes with 2 holley 1 barrel carbs
-comes with oil bath air filter
-still has 4 speed trans
1951 flathead block
-just bare block
-has been machined(cylinders and decked)
-i have original crank to go with it and differnt odds and ends engine parts
-has crack from one of the cylinders to the exhaust port
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Where are you (should be in your profile or signature so we can see)
I know there is someone potentially looking for a good flatty...

Personal opinion:
1st engine -- not going to get much in that condition, maybe $150
2nd engine -- shame about the crack, but unless you repair and sleeve it, you're likely not going to get much more for it. That isn't a cheap crack to fix, and involves some risk that it can even be repaired. But with the money from the other one, you could get most of the way to repairing it, and have a good motor
Trans -- likely worth more in parts if the gears are in good shape (and you can ship parts easier than a trans) assuming it's a crashbox 4-sp
