Default LS3 top end iron 408 10.0 SCR worth

I have a 100% 0 mile 408 that may need a new home, but I dont know what to ask for it if I sell it. I sure know what it cost to build haha

LS3 top end with +1mm SS intake valves; inconel exhaust
LS9 gaskets
ARP head bolts
10.0 SCR -15cc Wisecos
TSP rods/crank 24x
LY6 block
Gapped for boost (I have the specs somewhere)
224/228 .600 .600 114
Melling pump with yellow spring (other springs included)
New lifter trays
Johnston 2110r's
Gen3 oil pan powdered silver
gen4 vented -10 valve covers
powdered silver front and rear covers
All new gaskets, gen4 coils, coated valley cover, etc

Missing an intake manifold, no exhaust included

Whats it worth as an asking price? Thoughts?

edit 2/15/18: added 24x reluctor ring

Look around and see what some of the mail orders charge for a similar build. Then try and get about 75%

$3k is a joke I’m guessing....I would say start at $6k, realistically would prob sell for $4500-$5500, just have to be patient to find the right buyer

If you've been here a while you know many of our brothers on here are a bunch of cheap *** mf'ers unless it's their ****. Then it's made out of gold lol. I agree with 1FastBrick as usual. Ask 70-80% of what you paid. If it's someone you know they may be happy with the higher #. It should be a win/win not winner/loser. There is a point to where I just keep my stuff rather than get fucked. Store it for later.

this is the most solid advice I've read all weekend, and it's where I would start. Based on some of the replies to this thread tho, I wouldn't get the 6-7k that I'd be asking. This may have to be an eBay or LS1Tech listing to appeal to a larger audience. Yellow bullet even. Those guys drop 12k on rotating assemblies like it's a bag of skittles

Yeah I have a 5.3L like that with 0 miles. But I have some high end parts on it and around 10K in the build. After talking with a few people, Likely a hot rodder would want it and would need a Dyno sheet.
