1968 Camaro base 327 engine.
Hello all. Thought about selling the original engine rather than to have it rebuilt and upgrade to an LS3 376/480. Very much a newbie here so I have no clue on how much I’d sell it for. Odometer says it has approx 67K. Any input would be helpful.

With a non-Muncie 4 speed probably about $600 if you can show it running. A base mode 327 is only valuable to the owner of the original number matching car. The base model 327 in the 60's is one of the most common V8's built. They could be bought in anything.
The prices on all the older parts are really at a low. SO many people are upgrade to LS motors there is just not enough people going for stock non-number matching small blocks.
In my opinion shrink rap it and stick it in a shed and if you ever sell the car, who know that could really add value. Just having the options of going back to numbers match could help sell the car.

I an in the same boat in a way, No way would I sell my 67. It will go to my son. I upgraded to power steering, all the old parts are in a tot, brakes and seat upgrades are on the way, they will be treated the same way.

I couldn't agree more, this is a first year Camaro and you have the numbers matching parts which is a rare thing these days, it's a piece of American history.
There are only so many of them left out there, it would be a damn shame to lose those original parts just for a few hundred bucks.
Just my 2cts.
