I paid 9k for my current SE/400/4spd/WS6 15yrs ago, its undoubtly worth more than that now. I just don't think 79s will ever be worth big (SD) money. The 403 is not a terrible motor, GM sold 90k of them to meet demand, its just that now days most everybody looking for a 79 is wanting the 400/4spd. I suppose because it is rare relatively speaking.
I have seen and agree with this as well. None of the 77-81 cars will ever be worth SD money.
