If you don't have a need for it (like you are restoring a car that came with one), I'd say $250 was a reasonable amount.
Neil Smedley had a 318 poly 2bbl in a '62 Belvedere at one time. It ran 17.20's with a 2bbl a/t and 2.90's gear. He put a 4bbl on it with a 625 Carter and it ran 17.20's. He changed to a 3.55 rear and it ran 17.20's. He recurved the distributor and got it to the 17-teens. He then added a 2x4bbl and it ran the same.
There you go, nothing to get excited about or maybe Neil is just plain stupid!
