Honest Opinions Please..

I have an engine ready to be built at a machine shop. I am curious as too what is may be worth because I am falling on hard times and it may need to go.

These are the specs...

1973 454 2-Bolt Block.. Bored to 4.310 with a 4.250 stroke, 6.385" rods making 496ci.

Scat Rotating Assembly with SRP Forged 18++ cc Domed Pistons, internally balanced by Wolfplace. Roughly 10.0-10.4 CR.

Lunati Voodoo 60205 Cam, with matching Springs, retainers, and lifters. Here are the cam specs: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=LUN-60205&N=400421+314473+115&autoview=sku

049 Heads, Mild Port, Bowl blend, larger valves, something like 2.09/1.88 I may be off on that though.

Performer RPM Intake.

Proform Roller Rockers.. 1.7 , I believe these are the ones: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=PRO%2D66913&autoview=sku

Moroso 6QT Oil Pan: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=MOR%2D20403&N=700+4294908216+4294840133+115&autoview=sku

Engine wil not have dampner, distributor, or valve covers.

After build is complete, what do you think it may be worth, or better yet.. what do you think is a good retail price.

Thank You,

You'd probably would be better off to part it out than to put more money into it.

I would not be putting any more into it.. All the machining is done.. just has to be assembled. Machine shop is just waiting to assemble until I pay up what I owe....

I'm not looking to make a huge profit, just to get some $$ in my bank for priorities. I'm also not looking to make it too much of a steal.

I already have someone interested, just don't know what to offer it to him for. Also how much to ship an engine?
