Default What is it worth

Thinking about selling the car and going ls. 96 ta ws6 m6 115k miles. Straight body and original paint is decent for the age. Clean interior,no cracks in dash. 353 short block with eagle rods and icon forged flat tops,total seal rings gapped for nitrous,h series bearings. All felpro hp series gaskets. Untouched ports on heads but flat milled and 5 angle valvejob with Manley undercut valves. Hd gm single roller, ls7 lifters, comp 230/236 xe cam and full comp valvetrain. Csr pump,pacesetter longtubes and magnaflow cat back. Will have a few suspension bolt ons but nothing fancy and also put a 10 bolt back in it. Good tread on all tires. Where should I start with this?

You won't get what you want I can tell you that for sure. Just keep it, build it, and make it look nice.

I know how the market is and do not have any unrealistic expectations. **** the rear and suspension is probably worth more than the car. It is built and already looks nice. I have owned it for 11 years and I'm ready to go ls.

I would part it out some and then sell, or just do an ls swap if its a clean car. You are probably gonna get hosed on price unless you sit on it for awhile and find the right buyer.

Without seeing the car, 4k. What wheels, tires, suspension, miles on new engine, etc. I may be way off but not much to go off of.
