I'd post pics first.

Nice ones are getting hard to find.

All of the cases are basically the same.

I would think a real clean case would be worth 4-500...

Yes, scrapping them would be sacrilege. At least donate them to someone.

1.8 liter cases are a great beginning for a 2056 or stock rebuild, if the condition is OK.

If you plan on building a monster, the 1.7 liter and W cases are better as there is much more material in the places that count, like, the deck, etc.

I wish. $100-200 is the best I’ve ever got.

Most i have ever got was $250 because the buyer wanted GA case. They dont sell easily and shipping is expensive.
Worth more if they do not need line bore.

Worth more than scrap value, but might take some time to find a buyer.
