Certainly looks 'well dressed' and clean which helps. Specs on the rebuild (like head work?) and a detailed list of replaced and machined parts would improve the value significantly. As-is without documentation I would say a $4k-$5k is a fair value. You could up that significantly by providing compression, leak-down and documenting the extent of the build. With well-sorted documentation it could perhaps push $8k+.
I documented the teardown and build on 914world which I have the link to but the site was hacked and it's been down for 3 weeks now. I have all the receipts for the headwork as well as new seals and rings, chain ramps, etc. I can complete a compression test as I have that kit but would need to purchase a leak down kit to get those numbers. Thanks for all the input.
