i would say you are more likely to get more money by stripping the engine down.
i paid ?500 for a bill blienstein A pack head new. so you should be looking at that atleast just for the head.
sell the tb's seperately. you could easily fetch 1k for them.
trying to sell the engine as a whole wont get you the more money.
its just easier too. if you want to get the more money, you'll have to break it down more.
