Default Ram air V holley carburetor.What would the value be!

I know they are very rare and hard to find but what would it be worth paying if I came across one!

they only made 100 crate 400 engines and 25 303 engines many more parts.There were 3 diff models,400 auto,400 stick and 303.All hard to find.I have owned all 3.The really hard part to find is the throttle are bracket.Many have been robbed of chokes etc.Actually the hardest parts to find are the pullys for V engines.Tom

They never made any other complete engines that I have been able to confirm.Don Keefe might confirm.They did make some dual quad 400 intakes and a 303 X ram intake.I have owned the dual plane 2-4 intake.Do now own the X ram 303 intake along with the engine.Wade has a single plane 2-4 intake.They did make a hand full of 3in main 4in stroke cranks and 4.21 stroke 3in main cranks.I have owned both and the 4.21 crank is in my DS 400 engine right now.The 366 engine I believe might have been made from a 400 block.NEVER have seen that crank.I am a newbe on the V stuff compared to Don.I have also owned a couple of the DS alu V 400 blocks.Tom

As a side note the 366 NASCAR engine I did see was a 400 block with RA IV heads on it.Tom
