thinking of selling my engine, whaddayathink?

Thinking of selling my engine & 'box complete, ready to bolt in and go (to come with everything, just connect wiring loom, fuel and coolant and off you go.)
What do you reckon it's worth,
I have reciepts for over £2K
It is a 1.6 EG with a whole heap of work done, ported, polished, flowed, portmatched, fully ballanced, maximum overbore, 4 branch stainless exhaust system, motorsport air box & loads more.
Still in the car for those with serious interest in trying before they buy.

Please let me know what you think it is worth.

Cheers

Berkshire, Nr Reading,
Around 140-150bhp @ the crank, more if I dare move the limiter.

For the complete thing, with everything, g/box, injection, exhaust, water pump, oil cooler etc £2k (a lot, but hey there is a hellofalot there)  Bolt straight in and run.
You have to (well you don't) try it first.  It will work out a lot cheeper than buying all the bits and having all the work done.

The exhaust was £500, the head was £790, the cam was £220, the engine work was over £1300, gearbox rebuild, new clutch, water pump (trust me on this!!!), alternator, starter, dizzy, coil, injection system, inlet mainifold and all the other bits I have forgotten

I have reciepts for a more accurate figure.

I realise that the cost will put a lot of people off, but I can't sell it for anything less,

Cheers
