Engine-whats it worth??

[SSy]

I located a 93 typhoon motor. It has under 100 original miles. fell off a trialer while shipping. The rest of the ty was parted out, the owner of it decided to keep the motor and put it in a high mileage ty or other vehicle. He is now moving and had no luck over the years finding something to put it in so now he wants to sell it. it is complete with the exception of no alternator or A/C compressor. Has the turbo, manifolds, upper intercooler, heads, throttle body, etc... i pulled a plug and tried to look in the cylinder but couldnt see anything. My question is what is it worth? It is very clean no signs of grease anywhere.

the whole truck fell off the trailer. the guy said he used to start it up (before parting it out) and drive around his shop to keep it lubed up.

cost of ty engine

gmc replaced my original '93 ty engine with a long block, dealer cost $1676.25, pn 012515321. on the front of the block was a orange/red sticker that read "TPE TURBO" and in front of the right cylinder head the letters TPE were punched into a flat surface of the block. hope this will help identify the engine as a true turbo. john.
