On the other hand if the motor is that good it might provide you with a nice runner while you did some rebuilding / performance mods to that 250 in your other car. When you finally do up the 250 and yank the 230 you'll end up with a complete running engine to use as another 250 rebuild ( with a 250 crank and some pistons needed ). Now you have another head that you know the conditon of, and everything else that is to know about that 230.
V8 minded guys really don't wnat an inline good or bad and would likely just toss it away until they find someone who is into inlines. Offer him no more than $100 and less if you can get away with it. There is a good chance if you don't take it off his hands then nobody will. Walk away if he rubs the price up but leave your number. Expect a phone call from him and then drop your price even lower. This is the rules of engagement when dealing with the V8 types and we usually win.
good luck,
