What would you say the value would be for a competely and correctly rebuilt TR-6 engine, with a shaved head and mild cam? This engine has new pistons, valves, and all the normally replaced items. I'm just looking for a ballpark number. Thanks!

My guess would be somewhere between $2500 and $3500. This really is just a guess, but that feels right. For a buyer to rebuild a TR6 engine they already have to the specs you listed, it would likely cost $2000+. Throw in added value of time and labor savings and general dirty work, and I reach the high end of the spectrum. Maybe more?
In reply to mattmacklind: I concur, if it is streetable and ready to drop in a roller.
Okay, next question. How hard do you think it would be to sell this engine in that price range? Here's my motivation. I bought a TVR with a fully rebuilt but never fired engine. The receipts indicate that it was done right. I'm considering going with a different engine for this car, which is why I'm wondering what it's value may be. Before I sell it, I will take it down, document it with pictures, make sure everything is correct, put it back together and run it on a test stand so the buyer can have confidence that it's a good engine. As I stated, then my concern will be how hard will it be to sell? Any ideas?
