Jason,
I'll add another vote to keep em. I know it's tempting to sell in financial constraints, but like you said, You'll never get them again at the price you got em at. I've been doing the same thing you are doing over the last 7 years and finally have a complete 1972 455 HO YB motor. Just missing the numbers carb, but I am not concerned with that as it is too $$$ and not necessary when not a numbers car. I am building a car I want and it will Be factory correct as it would have come off the assembly line. Only way to know it wasn't, is to view the VIN. That's the fun of the hobby for me. Also, the fun of hunting down this stuff over the years. SAVE FOR LATER! A HO block will crop up when you least expect it, and probably not able cough up the funds, but if you are like me, you are able to scrounge up the dinero. If not, wait, seems like everytime I think, man, I better buy that now, I may never see another one, another one shows up later. Just be patient. That's why I love ebay. I have access to parts I never would have had access to, and they are shipped to my door!
I'd say 2-2500 alone for the heads, 500-700 for intake and crossover. Fan...is it an AC fan or manual fan?
