I am no engine expert, so I can't give any advice on specifics. In general, people are fairly leery of buying a used engine that they are NOT intending to rebuild unless they can hear it run. I would think that if the engine is in a car that someone can drive, the price goes up. If it is sitting out of the car, then the price goes down a lot since the buyer is taking a chance...

Don't by any means want to burst your bubble but, I think you would be lucky to get 1/2 of your starting out for everything figure you just posted! That's just my .02

Ported to 572?
Maybe you have had so few responses because it seems like your terminology is wrong. Your post appears like it was written by a guy that uses racing terms in the wrong context.

'Completely rebuilt' can mean something or nothing. You need to list each thing that was done...and still expect prospective buyers to be skeptical. I would not ever pay top $$ for a used rebuilt engine. In my view, it is a pile of core parts awaiting rebuild unless it can be run at power.
