Default How much should I ask for my shortblock?

Ok, Im going to finish building my shortblock and then sell it. Its got a bottom end from a 92 with the forged TRWs. Here is all the work that has been done and the parts it has...

crank turned 10/10, balanced, rods resized for ARP Wave-Locs, honed, new freeze plugs, new cam bearings, mains have been align honed, etc. Pretty much all the usual stuff for a rebuild. I even painted the block black with some Hi-temp engine paint.

Parts...

Total Seal rings, ARP rod bolts, Pro-form 7 qt oil pan and pick up, FRPP oil pump, ARP pump shaft, FRPP water pump, Fidanza Aluminum flywheel, King Cobra clutch, Speed-Pro bearings, ARP head studs, ARP oil pan bolts, flywheel bolts, pressure plate bolts, cam bolt, timing cover bolts, balancer bolt, Professional Products balancer, FRPP timing chain, main girdle and studs, and its got all the gaskets to build the entire motor. I may be missing a few things but I think I got most of it. Pretty much everything is there for a shortblock except for a camshaft.

How much do yall think I should ask for it when selling it?

LOL

It seems like no body is spending their money these days, which is the smart thing to do.
