Any idea what my damaged L99 is worth?
I am just trying to get a feel or idea what my L99 semi short block is worth in its current state.
Heads were sold already. So I have it currently with only 7 pistons, and the number 8 rod took some slight scoring damage from the #7 rod when it broke and spun around. According to my engine guy, the #7 cylinder liner just needs a hone as there was some scuffing when the skirt broke from the rod smashing it, but no deep scores. Crank is perfect. I would guess anyone I sold it to would likely just replace completely the pistons and rods anyhow. But as a block and crank, any idea what this is worth ballpark? 150k miles and has the LS1 style 'Muscle Car Conversion' pan, pickup tube and windage tray on it now. I took the L99 pan for the LS3 in my car now. My original goal was to slowly turn this into a forged/stroked monster, but money is getting tight since the swap.

Make more to part it out at this point, as a hole it's only worth the parts a guy might want from it.
200 as hole , part it out and 300+ maybe

Just saying a guy could get a used iron short block for 200 to 300 with no damage , so I'd sell the high value parts separate and make most money that way

Damn.
For a good 6.2 aluminum block and crank? I think I need to lower my expectations a bit. If that low, I honestly would rather just keep it and turn it into something special.

Yeah, I was under the impression the 6.2s held a premium, assuming no windows added to the block.
