X2........You have to look at it as an option. A real sound running 216 is valuable to you only if that is where you want the project to go and it is truly a runner. How much depends on you based on how much your other options will cost. Like I said here before my friends family sent at least a dozen 216 & 235 engines and tons of parts to the scrapper a few months ago. They could not even give them away. At the same time there were guys in the area looking for them. Most important nail your deal down to the condition with a liberal time frame to get it running or better yet have him run it for you. That will give it value. To you a good runner might be worth up to $500. A good one! One you won't have to fix.
