1918 engine
Are engines without generator or starter castings worth less than later engines? It is an unrestored one that may have been used with farm equipment so I don't really know condition other than it is too heavy for a boat anchor but turns over nicely.

In my opinion and experience at my end of the world, veteran blocks are worth more.

Re: 1918 engine
Agreed. The scarcity of earlier engines makes them worth more.
How much more? I don't know.

Re: 1918 engine
Pre-19 blocks are worth more as they are fewer, and (hate to say it) can be adulterated into being an earlier block (yes, I've seen this).
