<VV> 140 engine ballpark value

[NicolCS@aol.com]

The value of a good running 140 depends on how long it has been since  
rebuild (or new), I'd say the range is $300 to $2000.  For example, I have  a good 
running 140 with good compression, no leaks, good thermostats,  thermister, 
exhaust manifolds, about 75k since new, and complete tin that I  think should 
bring about $750.  If the engine you're  considering has 1k on a correct ($2500+) 
rebuild, that pushes you to the  top of the range.  If it's just an old 
engine with 100k, oil leaks, etc.  you are towards the bottom of the range.  Price
