Welcome to the forum and good luck on selling your takeouts. I tried to sell mine for months (excellent running 440's) and wound up giving them away for scrap iron price.

Surprised no one what'd the 440s IMO best big block marine engine made .
There are very few of the 460 marine around But there maybe a market for the marine parts if in good shape , only because you can't get the marine parts for them , you just have to find the right person .

Dang it!!!! We searched in vain for a good 440 back in July of '08. Ended up replacing both with 454s. Ended up maknig a nice little stash parting out the old 440s

It ripped my heart out to give them away but I was neck deep in the repower, they were both in the back of my old Chevy K-30, and I had no time to deal with them.
