Value of a 200k 2.7 core motor with complete CIS? Options

[RoadGlue]

I have a friend with a 200k mile 2.7 motor with the complete CIS system intact. The motor ran when it was pulled and its been properly stored. I know of all the pitfalls of the 2.7 sixes and I have a machinist friend who specializes in Porsche motors that's willing to help me rebuild and update the motor (tensioners, helicoil studs, etc) for next to nothing. Thinking it might be a good way to break into the six world.

Soooo, any idea of what that motor, in its current shape is worth? He had no idea and is pretty much letting me set the price.

Thanks!

I got a pile of parts bolted together "recently rebuilt" by some dickwad that wasn't qualified to rebuild a Lego toy for $1000.00 with a good pair of Webers and some other bits. I'm happy with the deal because I could sell the Webers for more than I paid for the engine. I'd pay $300.00 in this environment. Sitting for 10 years means that the cylinders probably got water in them at some point, or rat pee, or coffee, or acid rain, or something else that trashed them. Good pistons and cylinders are expensive, Chinese knock-offs are not. Cheap Chinese knock-offs are OK for like jackstands or a drill bit sharpener but not good enough for something that you use every day.
