If it is seriously seized, then it is only worth the value of what can be salvaged.
Check to see what has seized - if the crank does not turn at all then assume the pistons are seized into the cylinders AND the crank is seized into
the bearings. If the crank turns half a pooftenth, then the crank will be free and it's only the cylinders.
The cylinder heads could be worth something if they come off intact without damaging cooling fins. If they are seriously stuck on then they are
worthless. I've had about a 50% success rate getting heads off intact. The rocker gear could also be seized and worthless. Valves, springs etc need
to be replaced as a matter of course.
The pistons and cylinders are likely rooted, and should be replaced. Getting them off can be a huge PITA.
What else is on the motor? The genny? Genny pulley, early or late? Regulator, early or late? Fan and shroud? Heater boxes, early or late? Exhaust?
Dizzy? Fuel pump, early, mid or late? Spark plug wire conduit & clamps? Coil? Crank pulley, early or late?
The heads, genny, regulator, coil and dizzy all have date codes. If this co-incide with the date of the engine then it adds a bit of value.
A complete but seized 54/55 is worth a fair bit just for the bolt on parts. A seized 59/60+ is worth bugger all.
All parts are available to rebuild a 36hp, just need to hope the case can be used as is (you can live in hope) or have enough meat to line bore.

I last sold a running 36hp motor for $450 a few years ago......so would expect a fair bit less than that.

I bought one off ebay for $30 just to pull it apart and have a sticky beak. It is completely stuffed. It actually had buffalo grass growing up and
through the thing!
