Default Opinions.... Engine Value

My 66 currently has a good engine, but a wrong engine. Since it's incorrect in my car anyway, I have had thoughts of either, 1) Finding a correct engine for my car, or 2) installing a built 454.
Now..... what's the opinion as far as what my current engine is worth? I'd like to make it available to someone who needs it for their 67.
Specs are as follows:
Block:
Casting # 3904351
Casting Date K 16 6
Heads
Casting # 3872702
Casting Date B 11 6
(So the heads are Feb 66, but no good for me since my build date is Dec 15 65.)
Intake is K 5 65, so I'm going to keep it.
As always thanks for your thoughts.

No Idea of the value, has it been bored out? Has it been rebuilt? Freshened up?


But I might be interested when you settle on a price, as stated before.
