I wasn't quoting what it would take to put back together. It's a core in pieces. You can sell it for $4-5k. If you don't believe me, go look at the last 60 days of the classifieds. There have been 6-8 2.7s in various condition for sale. Make your own assessment.
It is a random mechanic. He didn't sign his name to it. He didn't write down his measurements on each thing to be used. Whatever work he did making sure it was right is lost to the ages. It doesn't matter. It's just a core that's probably mostly in spec.
My $5k number was machine work. Buy this core for $5k and do $5k of machine work and you're a good way there. With all the missing stuff, it's likely $15-20k to build this engine.
