value of 73E engine

I bought a 75 car that came with a 73E engine. I am wondering if it makes sense to offer the engine here on Pelican, or just leave it with the car.
Cold, the engine starts a little hard with some popping out of the intake, but settles into a nice idle. Warm, it starts right up and idles smoothly. When it first started, it blew a lot of liquid oil out the exhaust, but that has now stopped-I am assuming that this is from liquid oil accumulating in the muffler.
All of the E intake parts except the intake flapper and rubber boot are present. MFI pump is the correct 014 unit.
If selling, the sale would have to net enough to cover the cost of buying and installing a 2.7 or 3.0 in the car. But a 73 E engine might just be what someone needs. What do you think?
