So I just took a new job and we need to move in the next couple of months. Therefore, we need to sell our house at the worst time of the year in the worst market. So the problem I have is I have a basement full of parts and specfically a complete 73 2.0 engine with 80K original miles. The fuel injection, transmission, and stainless headers are still on the engine. So my question is should I sell it to clear up the space. Am I crazy to think that I can pick up a engine like this later in life. Also what would you sell it for as a complete package. I know it would be easier to sell apart but I just don't have the time.

Based on my experience with selling a 2.0, you're better off keeping it or parting it out. I had a complete rebuilt 2.0 that I couldn't give away as a whole engine, ended up parting it out. It's more work and trouble but probably worth your time.
