Olds 403 value?

I have a friend with a 1979 Pontiac Tenth Anniversary Trans Am. It has the all original totally stock Olds 403 and T-350 mautomatic transmission. He lost his storage and may have to sell or part out the car. He has engaged me to get it driveable and so far I have verified the 403 runs pretty...

I suspect that 403's are becoming scarce and certainly harder to find.

Well machine shop was backed up 2 weeks but got a phone call. The block, heads and crank are good to just needs to be punched 30 over, valve job,and 10/10 on the crank. So hope to have it back by the end of the week then I can put it together.

Well the snowball effect has happened
I didn't want it to go this far but why not
since I'm this far so what's a extra day or week on a build instead of looking back going I should of took that extra day or week whatever it takes to get it done.

Looking good! Been there, done that snowball garbage! What started off as a quick suspension upgrade turned into a 8+ year body off resto!
