What's an LSA engine worth?

[FasNuf]

Thinking about selling my current engine complete to help pay for something else, but really don't know what it's worth.
What do you guys think this could get?

Currently configured...700whp on E85
30,000 miles on engine
Cam done at 11,000 miles

2014 LSA with stock bottom end and stock heads.
BTR stage 3 cam
BTR .660 springs spring kit and titanium retainers with BTR valve seals.
BTR 5/16 chromoly pushrods
BTR v2 Rocker trunnion upgrade kit

Kong Performance porting on supercharger and snout
Metco solid isolator
Billet lid coolant manifold
Griptek upper pulley 2.50" w/hub
ATI Super Damper
DSX Tuning 9.06 Lower pulley

3 bolt cam gear with ARP bolts
Katech C5R Timing chain
Dedicated Motorsports Idler Relocation Bracket
Dedicated Motorsports 110mm Idler
LS2 chain damper

ARP balancer bolt HD Greenback belt K080675HD
F.I.Clinic 1200cc Injectors
NW 102mm throttle body
Aeroflow fuel rails
169 deg. Mishimoto Thermostat
oil pickup tube girdle
NGK 3690 spark plugs gapped .033
Melling 10355HV oil pump
DOD/AFM relief valve Delete in the LSA oil pan
McLeod RXT1200 clutch

I'll probably keep the oil pan.


Thanks for the input.
Mark

On Ebay they run about $12,000-$16,000 for a stock LSA engine, most with more miles than yours. Usually performance additions take a huge hit when someone is buying a car but on an engine sale alone that doesn't hold true so you won't take a bath. I would think it would sell at $15,000-$16,000 in a reasonable amount of time.

Keep me in mind if you want to sell the clutch separate.

Gotta ask Mark, what are you planning to replace it with? Or are you gonna surprise us. lol.

Thanks guys.
Looking at a Dart 427 but I'm not firm on the details yet. Most likely going 2650 for the boost. I'm really in the early stages of figuring it out. Just trying to see what kind of money I'm looking at for a budget.

Damn Mark you’re finally doing it. I know we talked about it last summer. Big time plans.

Very cool!! Gonna keep up with the Jone's are ya? Nice. If I had the bucks, I'd buy yours!

For some reason I'm not getting notified when people reply so sorry in advance.
Yes, hopefully soon I'll be gathering parts. I may just get a Thompson short block to save time. Hoping they put it up soon as engine of the month.
