Not Ranked
Yes 0.030 does not leave much room if it needs bored again to true it up, and it should be sonic tested before boring again (if it needs it), but let's not act like it is a boat anchor either. There are a lot of SO blocks out there still running with patches after rods opened holes in it. Blocks can be sleeved. If done properly, no problems. They are relatively rare to find and no more originals will ever be produced. So it does have good value.
In my opinion, now is not a bad time to sell. In another generation or two, very few people will remember what a 427 SO FE engine was, let alone want one. Today there are still more people who would love to have one than exist. Supply verses demand makes an old engine, not worth $100 to the average person, worth $15,000 or $20,000 to the right person. The demand numbers will die off.
