2.18" Intake Valve, 1.72" Exhaust Valve, 88-91cc Chamber

Are this worth a damn?
Is the "SK35369" cast into the head(s)? A picture will tell whether they are OE Ford items, or a later, 90's cast "Dove" reproduction. An actual value range can then be ascertained, but not before then.

Still need the casting numbers off the block, the screw in freeze plugs are a plus, but the actual casting numbers and date code cast into the block will determine the range of when the engine was produced. Actual value will depend on the internals of the block, and their condition after that information is provided.

Finally, as previously stated, this is not an "original cobra engine" your best bet will be to get the details requested, and we can guide you.

Intake is worth more to a drag racer, than a cobra owner
Oil pan is a late 80's to late 2K item and does not add value to the engine as a whole.

Will await the other details, and we can then assist you further from there.
