value of an 87 bone stock 930 engine with good leakdown numbers?

[vintagecarlover]

thinking about selling or trading a bone stock 87 930 engine with 60k complete airbox to exhaust and clutch and flywheel to turbo. leakdown numbers are under 5% and compression were within 10% of each other and can be retested with your wrench. i was gonna drop it into an sc body but everyone i hear says get a 3.6 instead so im looking to possibly sell outright or swap for 3.6 and some cash so questions are whats value of my engine and what could i buy a healthy 3.6 for in this market?
ill upload pics later this evening.

You wouldn't hear me say that, as a Turbo engine will blow the balls off of a 3.6 (a sentiment shared by most anyone who has experience with both).

Forget about the 3.6.
The 3.3 turbo is a fantastic engine and will put a smile on your face ever time the boost comes in. Who ever told you to get a 3.6 will only see the back end of your car once you get it finished.

I've found the 3.6 to be a slow revver in stock form. Blah.
3.3 all the way.

3.6 with a LWF is a fun engine...
