    So I have a 320 straight 8 and dynaflow trans out of a 1951 Buick Roadmaster. Not sure if it runs, but it does turn over freely. I am selling both and was just wondering what a fair price would be on them.

    $600/$800 in the Midwest. Does it have the correct carb? Is the exhaust manifold cracked? Many of the exhaust manifolds are cracked in the flanges that slip over the center section. It is a three piece exhaust manifold. I would be interested in the manifold if not broken and you are interested in separating.

    Hard call without it running. Thinking the range would be $250 to $400 depending on completness. I bought a rebuilt '51 320 for $1,200, no transmission. It had new bearings, rings, pistons was turned 0.020 over, new lifters, valves and had a head job. That engine will fit most Roadmaster and Century Buicks from about '48 to '52. The National Buick show is in Midwest City, OK. You would more easily sell it there.
