Default Value of a 2003 LQ9?

I have a what looks to be brand new LQ9 I did some trading for a while back. I was planning on making it fit in a Vega Ive had for years with a 350 in it. After getting caught up in my companies downsizing a few months ago, I'm thinking I need to forget that project and focus on more important things at the moment.

I think it was pulled like right off the bat out of an Esclade that was getting pimp'd out in some way shape or form. It is totally complete top to pan. Exhaust manafolds arnt even rusty. Any idea to it's value if I decide to sell it? Not sure if I should sit on it or off it.

I've done alot of post reading about it and would love nothing but to put it in my little car and put some nitrous on it and have some fun but man, my budget just isnt making it lately and I need to get my priorities straight. I already have a moded F250 Diesel and can't play with another car.

I know I have not contribted at all to this forum but any ideas of it's value on the used market would be greatly appreaciated.

Just a guess, probably around $1500 give or take a couple hundred.

Yes its totally complete. Intake, coils, even the accessories I think. If I keep it I need to just fine a harness and computer for it. Hence why I was here reading this site in the first place.

That amount won't get me out of any huge holes. I might just sit on it a while, maybe things will get better.
Please still post if you think its worth more. j/k

Thx

EDIT: When I say everything I mean everything. Including the entire injection system on the motor.

Looks like someone will get it for 1600 pretty soon here though if nobody else responds in the for sale area. I need the money for my truck asap now.

$1600 is a good deal if it really is a near new motor. I sold one in perfect condition with 1200 miles last year for almost $2500.
