One good place to start is www.autotrader.com and key in Corvettes with a range of years, say 1994's through 1998's. That will give you the general price range in the market. I think mod'd engines tend to be viewed as possibly abused so bring little or no premium price. They are often even viewed as a negative. 
Buyers do not have the same comfort level with modified cars as the seller, so. the market of buyers is much smaller because there is more risk to them. I have never gotten my investment back in a modified engine. Maybe 50 cents on the dollar if I am lucky. I just do it because its fun and then drive it until the wheels fall off.

It's worth less then what it would be stock unless you find the right buyer.

Its a beautiful car and looks well built but honestly w/o knowing engine internals/mileage i could not see it bringing more than 10-11k IF you found someone who wanted a custom car,private party blue book is around 9100 based on 75k miles and as stated above, modded cars generally bring less unless you find someone who wants a modded car
