Whatever you're willing to pay when you need one.

That's what anything is worth, whatever the buyer and seller agree to.

Money, tools, women, farm animals..

I should have been more clear on the Hecho in Mexico blocks. In some limited classes we were looking for any gains possible so we could build lower HP rule limited motors at 0.030 over because they were fine at that bore, and when we were done, the overall engine weighed less than say an early 70's 350 block. It may have been only a few lbs but it was whatever gains we could get. For example, we had a class that had to run a stock balancer. So I forget offhand which it was, maybe a 6 3/4" chevy balancer, it had a ring of holes around the circumference. The shop owner drilled them all out to a larger size, so it APPEARED stock but he took weight out of it hoping the engine may RPM a little quicker. I enjoyed this tinkering part of the engine building but it was expensive. I couldn't afford high tech small engines myself so mine were generally Summit catalog big engines to make my car run. So I got to play at the machine shop on fancy stuff!!!

....Money, tools, women, farm animals...

If you have money and meet the tool guy = no money

If you have money and secure a woman = no money

Farm Animals, I'm not so sure..., you can eat them.

I've seen stuff on facebook marketplace posted where the person is trying to trade for chickens, horses, cows, and others. It's entertainment at this point.

When we were in Baghdad one of the guys in the markets there was offering to trade five women he "had" for four goats. We were down in the green zone, was pretty interesting to see that one.

5/4 woman to goat exchange ratio. What was the chicken to woman exchange ratio?
We didn't get that far, we were a little awe struck on the 5/4 ratio haha
