Default LS6 engine with 8k miles

I have a 2004 Z06 that the engine was removed at 8,000 miles for a LS7 swap. What is this engine worth? I have a few people around wanting to buy. not sure what its worth. Does not have coil packs or brackets they were used for LS7. Thanks

Quite a bit -- best LS6 heads, best LS6 valves, best LS6 cam. 8K miles, so no appreciable wear. Vettenuts has a 50K mile unit for $5300. Does have the coil packs and PCM, but those can't be a huge part of the value.

Just did a brief look on eBay's sold LS6s and they seem to be selling for $3,000 to $3,500. With only 8,000 miles on yours, I would guess $4,000

If it were me I’d keep the engine find a Chevy s10, an RX7, a Miata, or now that I’m actually thinking out loud.....a wrangler, yep buy a used Jeep & drop the LS6 in it.

LS6 worth $3500
used Jeep $3500
used Jeep + LS6 = sell for $15000 or keep & have fun lol!
