Good possibility it is a Lincoln SA-200. One of those in somewhat running
condition and without MAJOR issues like an extremely tired engine might be
worth the $350 or much more. Or much less. If the engine works, doesn't
smoke too bad, and it welds (more or less), it should be worth the money.

I bought one for $350, and ended up putting $600 in it. Main thing is to
see if it will crank, and the engine will turn. After that, you have to run
the engine to test the electrical components. If it runs and the generator
is good, you can fix all the rest of the stuff for not a lot of money. The
circuit board is $100. The other stuff is just mechanical. Make sure it's
all there. The Continental engines that were put in there are just about
bulletproof.
