Do 289 Crankshaft and rods have value?

Do a used 289 crankshaft and connecting rods have any value? I see that most people are building 302 or 5.0 engines.

they dont really have any value, no more than any other crank and rods.

So, I just need to find someone that just really wants to have or build a 289. I have no need for these parts. I am going to run a 5.0 dressed as a 289.

Hi: Some of the guys I race with in vintage road racing run 289's, and I've heard them complain that 289 cranks are getting hard to find. Let me check with them to see if they are interested. If so, it might work out to benefit everybody.

I searched for 6 months for a good 289 crank
I finally found one for $50
