What would be a hot-rodded 2.4 engine worth?

[Raceboy]

My friend is thinking about selling his hot-rodded 2.4 engine + other bits due to change in direction.
Perhaps you could give a hint what would things be worth.

Engine is fully rebuilt 2.4 engine (0 hours, many photos of the rebuild that completed only few months ago):
*Unmolested 3R case that is in perfect condition (originally from 2.2 T), align-bored.
*2.2 S pistons
*70.4 mm crank
* ported MFI heads (39/36 mm), new valve guides, stem seals, valvejob done.
* S cams
*all new bearings, rings, gaskets

*Also is available a complete 2.7RS MFI setup with 019 pump, plastic throttles, linkage etc.

*5spd LSD equipped 915 trans (coarse flange diff).

unfortunately - not much

- less than it cost to build

the 915 with LSD is another matter - will sell PDQ if he puts it up on eBay

Oh, you're killing me. That would be an awesome motor for my 914-6 project! I had a milder version of that same motor built (E cams, and no head porting) but haven't installed it. Is this one twin plugged? Wish I would have done that on mine.

That is what I have in my 911T:
1973 yr, 2.4, 7R case, 2.2 S P&Cs, S cams, with 013 MFI system (2.4S).

He realizes that he will not get the same money when selling. No false expectations here, it is always cheaper to buy already built engine than to build one from scratch.
It is not twin-plugged due to the fact that it uses S cams (less dynamic CR) and that we have high-octane gas readily available (98 octane here, should be 93 for US?).

Pardon my ignorance, but what does "PDQ" stand for?

PDQ- Pretty Damn Quick

I would be interested in knowing more about this engine. You mentioned many photos of the rebuild, this something that can be seen online? I am also located in Eastern Europe and had considered transporting my 72 911T with MFI to have work done where I am now living (currently the car is in the States).
