I would think 2-4K depending on condition and authenticity.

What's the VIN. That would be awesome if it matched my car.

$1500 - $4000 depending on condition, assuming the peripheral parts (except carb as stated) are there. Like any other hi-po engine that stuff adds up in a hurry.

Yes, #490 aluminum. What is the stamped block code?

I thought they ran out of L79s with aluminum intakes in the beginning of 67? I thought most of the 67 Novas with L79s had the cast iron intake and a Quadrajet.

That is correct for Novas. '67 Chevelle (OP's subject engine) used aluminum with 3806 (non-smog) Holley carb. Chevelle switched to iron/Q-Jet in '68.
