You probably won't recover your investment if you build it and try to sell it - unless the machine work is already done, parts on hand and all it needs is assembly. Probably best to sell as a complete package in present condition - especially if it appears it's a matching parts engine. Possibly a 63 - 64 Galaxie restoration project needs an engine or someone with a Cobra project not hung up on sideoiler status. I have a friend restoring a Q-code 63 Galaxie who was searching for such an engine last year but he has found one now.
