Default Whats an incomplete LS1 worth?

I have no idea where to post this, and figured I would start here.

I have an 04 LS1 with 23k miles on it coming out of my GTO.

It is almost a complete Longblock. And technically I do not know EXACTLY what a longblock includes. (please fill me in)

Does a longblock include:

oil pan?
rocker arms?
cam?
timing set?
timing cover?
valley cover?
Intake Manifold?
rear covers?
valve covers?


Anyways I am looking to sell this motor to help get some funds so I can send the car away for some new goodies.

The car/motor ran great when I took it apart and never had any problems.

Thanks and please fill me in on what this might be worth.

the block and rotating assembly is worth in the 1000-1500 range. complete motor should be worth somewhere in the 2000-2500 range.

although lots of people overpay and you can probably get more out of it

Just to let you know, there are a few differences for the 04 blocks. The starter is different (pad drops lower than standard LS1 block) and to put one in an Fbody, you need to knock out the oil dipstick tube plug to insert a tube into the block. I just finished putting the LS1 out of my wrecked GTO into my TA and found out the hard way.
