Question Quick "what's it worth" Question...

EDIT: MOTOR ONLY

1982 22r
~10K miles
.040 over
ARB main and head studs
LC Engineering street performer head/cam...30k on cam. Valve job and resurface when rebuilt 10k ago.
LC Eng. Adj Timing gear
Offy C intake
Weber 32/36
NWOR header

Motor has been sitting for about a year, but still fires right up and runs good. I need to sell it to fund a 4.3l swap and am just trying to figure out what it might be worth. Thanks in advance for any opinions.

why are you selling it? if you still got many more miles to go, dont get robbed out and sell it.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. This is the motor only. I need to get rid of this motor/trans to make way for a 4.3l swap into this truck.....someday

Need more info:

What parts did you buy new?

Do you have receipts for parts and machine work?

.60 over is a little scary IMO for a daily driver

Who built the motor?

What parts did you buy new?
Pistons, rings, bearings, crank turned, oil pump, water pump, head and main studs, adjustable cam gear, timing set, valve guide seals, head resurfaced and valves turned, cam has about 30K on it

Do you have receipts for parts and machine work?
yes, have all receipts

.60 over is a little scary IMO for a daily driver
I'm glad you brought that up, I checked and if fact it's only .040 over

Who built the motor?
Me.

What about a warranty? I wouldn't pay more than $800 or so on an engine that has no guarantee.

One could drop 3k plus on a LCE motor and the warranty is only 90 days and it's only been bench run.
