Complete 350x engine worth nowadays?

[1972mercury]

What are 350x complete engines going for in 2022? This one doesn’t come with the carb no shifter nor no kicker and don’t know if it’s an 85 or 86 but does turn over and does run.

Last complete one I saw on eBay was like 1500. But that was like 2-3 years ago

You will get as many opinions as you get replies to this. Very hard to put a dollar price on something with so many variables. It is very easy to tell a 85 from an 86 motor though. The cam chain tensioner on the 85 is huge. On the 86 it is small and tapered. The clutch cable route is different depending on the year, so it is an important distinction. The 85 and 86 are interchangeable though.
