I am a newbie to you somewhat slanted world but I have some questions...

"Slant six project engine-never assembled. New forged pistons, rebuilt rods, crank ground, assembly balanced. Block bored .060", new cam bearings, Head rebuilt, ported and polished. Have new rings, bearings, oil pump, competition cam, lifters, timing set all in the box. Have original slant six intake modified to accept a GM T-3 turbocharger from a V6 Buick. Have the turbo assembly and Q-jet carburetor, turbo is loose and needs rebuilt. All new parts and cylinder head have been in dry basement storage for the last 15 years and are in new condition. Engine block has been in barn storage and has surface rust and would need a hone to freshen. This is a .060 over 199 cid (rare); the shorter stroke motor works better with the turbo than the longer stroke 225"

Guy is asking $500 worth it? Would it make a decent street motor?

If these parts are in decent shape and decently put together, that is a great deal.

Could make a good street combo, but hard to tell from description.
