Since no one has replied, I'll take a stab at it. I'm no expert, but I do scan used parts prices so I have an idea.

To maximize your selling prices, I'd suggest selling everything (engine, 915, SSI's) separate. A bundle usually favors the buyer, but it can be a method to quickly move several items if you need a quick sale.

For the engine paperwork is critical unless you have personal knowledge of the engine work. With documentation, I'd say the complete engine engine should fetch $5k - $6k or so. With no documentation $4k +/- or so.

A good, used aluminum case 915 $1k - $1.5k. I see these only going up in value in the future, they have been very undervalued on the used market. Add $500.00 for a late 915 with the stronger bits. Add $1k for a cooler equipped late euro 915.

SSI's in the box, wow, nice to have these and I'd say $1.5k +/-, but since you can't buy the originals anymore, who knows?

I have a set I bought from John just after the sale to Dansk (I would not sell mine for $2k). I'm saving mine for a SS rebuild of my 3.0. I'm going to the earlier thin flange (thick flange on now) with a set of early 3.0 heads. I recall John saying that the last several years of production the quality was the absolute best. He said they used an even better grade of stainless that will not corrode. It's sad that the shop could not have been taken over in the U.S. and production kept here. He was very proud of them and rightly so!
