     I recently bought a '72 440, complete and purportedly
running before recent removal, for $250.  I think actually
that was a bargain, and would have been willing to pay $350
or $400.  I would say that the increased desirability of an
earlier 440 with steel crank would offset the more uncertain
condition, making either of yours worth at least that.
