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.
