Default What's an LT1 worth?

I'm considering selling my motor - 1970 LT1 - It's been professionally rebuilt about 1500 miles ago to run on pump gas - estimated at around 400HP.

c/r is 10:1
.030 over
new pistons (hyperutetic)
original rods (magnafluxed)
original aluminum hi rise intake
new valves, springs, seats, grind
new oil pump with polished aluminum, finned oil pan
new NOS Holly 830 cfm carb
Comp cam #12-433-8

Runs like a raped ape. How much is it worth? I'm thinking of changing to a more modern, fuel injected crate motor to get more mileage (I know...I'm a wimp...)

Any thoughts?
