Head over to LKQ.COM and have them run a search, find out what they would charge for a comparison. Keep in mind LKQ not only delivers but also gives a warranty on everything they sell.
About 25 years ago they sold me a used complete 3.4L V8 for a 97 SHO I had, came with 99,000 miles on it with the vin# from the donor car, and gave me a 30 day warranty. $1,500.00
the engine is worth what you are willing to pay for it and the seller is willing to sell it for.
i have never paid more than $500 for a used engine.
You've never bought a 3.4L V8 lol. I was going to rebuild my old one but one of the pistons decided to let go and the rod gouged the cylinder. Ford wanted, better sit down, $12,000 for a short block. (Twelve thousand) usd. Special engine designed by Ford then sent to Japan for Yamaha to do it's magic on it then shipped back to Ford for install in 96-99 Taurus SHO's. 144mph wrapped in leather.
You can also go to car-part to look what local salvage yards are selling them for; while keeping in mind, many may be offering a warranty and this will be of a good value for others looking to buy a used engine vs yours which of course you'll sell as is, no warranty, so you'll likely need to be below their prices to make it worth the risk for local buyers.
