Default help with pricing on trans, diff and engine

I just bought a wrecked 2004 v and I am going to sell the trans and diff for sure and maybe the engine, thinking about building twin turbo V with gforce rear, 4l80e with a custom twin setup, so trying to get an idea of what the stock parts are worth.
The car is still drivable and seems to run excellent, has 74k on it. I drove it a little and after a few lights the trans had a slight resistance going into first, so I let the clutch out a little and it went into gear, so I assume it needs a synchro. But it only did this the one time while on a 15 mile trip the rest of the way back was fine only 2 lights on the way back.
The engine runs great screams through all the gears, this would be a long block only, I would keep all the accessories and intake for my other project.
Diff is very quiet no whining at all, axles are dry all looks good back there.
I would also have the driveshaft available.
I was told that the clutch was a factory stock with new flywheel and hydros about 5k back, but I have not verified it yet
So any ideas on where to start pricing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Maybe not, some were swapped under warranty. If you pull it check out the numbers on it.
