I will be honest you will need to put a lot more detail into your thread and even then I doubt very much you will achieve anywhere near your asking price. Exact Pistons, is the engine over bored or on standard size, who done the closed deck insert, what cams, what springs, what valves, Cosworth heads ? What type of baffled sump, what oil pump what ancillaries are with it, etc etc
