Maybe you can sell it to a guy looking for a z06 and a left nut for 18,000...Many people have yanked their motor for boosted cars...got too ask 18,000 if you are really looking for 16000 anyway...maybe his car really clean and some exterior ,interior upgrades? Seen a bunch of build motors never used for sale 8 .9,000 dollars..seen some 27,000 dollar motors for 11,000 grand used......As far as you bulding turbo car with it....Just by someones crazy turbo car built already for a fraction of the 125,000 they have into it...either way good luck....id say 17,000 without ex or interior mods....

Realistically, You should pull $12-15K from the asking price of an otherwise perfectly running Z06.
If I had the patience, I wouldn't mind doing that myself - to purchase a chassis/body for cheaper but get to build my own engine for the car. As a buyer, I'd be very interested in something like that personally. So many different directions you could take that car for a unique setup but I'm of the belief that you can pretty much build any type of engine (not turbo'd or blown) for less than $15K for street applications.

I agree. A H/C/I/E Z should be going for at least $35K anyways unless the car had some wear and tear that needed attention.
I mean, I look at it this way. You CAN'T have what I have done to my car for less than $35K and that's only if you do all the labor yourself. After you pay yourself for the labor, you'd be out $36-38K for what I have in my car. I'd sell my car based on what I know the market would have to pay to have one just like it. Plain and simple.
If the buyer wanted to argue, then go somewhere else. You aren't going to get a $30-35K car and put $8K of mods in it and do it all for less than $30-32K. The math just doesn't agree.
There are always people out there selling their car out of 1) ignorance and 2) a serious need for cash. Generally, it's more often the latter. People get into a position where they just want to get rid of a note and the sell the car for about what they owe on it.
That rarely happens although when this economy crashes again you will find some hot deals because of this.

can the oil tank on the Z's be cleaned out?
new radiator/EOC/lines could be had for a nickel.
I looked into shipping, about 1500 from west to east coast.

Yes oil tank can
Which brings a good point, many of OP's parts used in a long block could be trashed.
When intake valves go the metal gets in the intake and they are now scrap.
I would not want metal flakes trapped getting loose and being reintroduced to a new motor

Intake manifolds all the way to the air filter can be cleaned of any debris. Been there, done that, no problem.

I read a few that chucked the intake because they were still getting debris.
I'm with you, if it was mine and that is what I was running, I would get it clean, but on the flip side,,,,, There are so many nooks and crannys in my MSD I was leery getting the sanding wheel debris out even with a split clamshell. Not sure id recommend it to everyone.
