Default Value of an original 427 sideoiler engine?

Hey Guys...need a little help here. I have found what I have been told is a 1966 427 sideoiler with single Holley (410 HP) with only 13,000 original miles on it. (maybe 1/4 mile at a time?)

Anyway, the older Gentleman says it came out of a 1966 Fairlane that had been wrecked many years ago, and has been stored in his garage with the big spine toploader tranny since.

I really don't need it, but if it is what he says it is I would be interested at a good price. Since it would be somewhat of a gamble on the condition is it worth much other than a block for a complete reuild? He doesn't know what to ask for it and I'm nervous about offering much without first tearing it down. Of course he doesn't want to tear it down.

What do you all think? Thanks for your input. Bob
