They're a cool novelty, but no real surviving aftermarket or performance potential unless you radically change it - such as drilling/tapping the block and putting an 86/87 top end on.

Depending on the year, the knock control/timing comes from a small box mounted to the top of the fan shroud and if it goes bad there's no replacement other than another used unit.

When someone need to wait a few weeks to set a price thats your hint it's not worth it. In the past year or so I've seen 2 of those cars, both running/driving, not rusty but in need of some cosmetics, go for sale and sold. Listed in the 2500 and 4000 pricepoints, but who knows what they went for, if that helps.

You say you’ve gone past it for over 20 years. Gotta wonder if anything about it is any good. To me that engine is only the value of a regular six. They weren’t impressive when new.
