I would imagine that it depends on where you live and the demand for them. Around here its fairly common to buy them complete for under $500 and have bought them as cheap as $175.

Colin, is there that many wrecked 79 400 4 speed TA's/Formula's up there? The 79 PWH code blocks are fairly hard to find. IIRC, the last complete one I saw on Ebay went for around $900. That was the high water benchmark I use for my figures.


Redbird, the only real numbers that matter would be the carb (17059263) and the distributor (1103315).

Well, the carb doesn't match. I think it's the original carb to my car which is a 77 t/a. 17057274 with a date code of I067. I have to find the distributor number.

Oh Im sure they will sell that high to someone that MAY be looking for that particular block. How many people are looking for a PHW block specifically? Im not really into the matching #'s thing so to me a 400 is a 400 is a 400 I cant imagine the demand for that certain one is all that great........I have been known to be wrong many times before though.
Like 68ragtop posted, most people probably dont care what numbers (or letters) are on it.
