^Well I have been thinking all day about what everyone has said etc etc.

And as I said before I have been swaying back and forth since the motor went....

Since you guys are outside the car, by that I mean you don't have anything invested into and can make a clear decision about it and give me a no BS assessment on what it should be worth I need to listen.

That being said I now have two options in my mind...put a stock motor back in it and put it back to stock and sell it. In that case i think 27ish would be reasonable. However then it will be tough explaining to whoever wants it why it has a new motor in it and no matter what I say they won't believe me. So like you guys say, i will then need to lower it to get what I want out of it. In which case I mind as well of sold it for 16-17k and cut my losses rather then trying to sell it fixed up.

Option 2, suck it up, buy a car to get me by for now (which has to be done for either scenario) and tow that shit to DB/MAP to start pulling the motor and assess the situation.

Still nothing is 100% obviously, but I will say this...

From the very start I told myself if I was going to do any work on it, meaning fixing the motor/building it, i was not going to put it back to a stock block...

So that kind of makes my decision for me i guess.
