Used engines run about 40-50% of retail value.

I don't see any reason whatsoever to sell the engine and get a new one, just for 16 cubic inches. As we've discussed in the past, it just needs a set of heads and it will wake up big time. The Ford Racing heads are way under par in terms of performance.

Certainly not trying to detract from a KC engine sale, and by all means, if you do a top end swap, call him for the parts....but I don't see where it would be prudent to swap motors unless this one is worn out already.
