Now we're talkin'. Here's my guesstimates based on some limited knowledge (always learning!):
Solid standard bore B9A block.....$175-$200.
COAE-D heads......$400
'60 HP aluminum intake......$350
unique timing cover/pointer.......$200(these are tough to find, made of tin, unique timing pointer that's needed with HP dampner).
dual point distributor....$100 - $150
Good original stock HP solid camshaft to a purist...$100
(although I would not run that specific cam due to the retaining system. I would use the original cam to have a new cam ground that uses the '63 & later cam retaining system. Have the B9A block modfified to accept this.)
An original COAE - 540 CFM High Performance 352 specific Holley carb....$350.
These parts separately add up to $1,700. I came up with these by having watched eBay for the last year and a half for all things specific to FE with particular attention paid to 352/390HP items. And I'm also a longtime nut for '60 - '61 HPs
So.....a package deal of $1,500 for a true, genuine 1960 352 High Performance engine less the very difficult to find original air cleaner and reasonably easy to find shorty HP exhaust manifolds would seem a reasonable price....just my humble opinion.
