Brian--
I think JKU has a good point---reproduction cost is likely not market value. Although the cost to rebuild an engine is high (apparently much higher than I thought
)--that doesn't mean that you can sell it for that price.
Market here is pretty much limited to antique vehicles. As a result--your machine shop or seller will likely have a hard time selling it for what they've got in it. Kinda like a new car when you drive it off the lot......
If it were me, I'd low ball 'em and try to get them to come back to you. Always nice to have a spare engine under your workbench.
