Icon2 Ls/Vtec Question

Hey guys I'm looking into building and selling an ls/vtec engine just want to know if you guys think it would be worth it or not? I spent 500$ on the b16 head looking at a block for 129$ just need to get the ls/vtec kit studs pistons and rods. If ya think its worth it how much do you guys think i could sell it for if its all done right and broken in correctly?

This thread really doesn't belong here since it isn't tech oriented. I wouldn't do it personally. I don't think you will gain anything. Most people dump 4K into a motor and sell it for 2.5 because no one wants to risk it based on the fact that someone else put it together.

Hate when people refer to it as 'this game' or 'scene' but I will agree. You won't get it back. That's the general rule with cars. Unless it's a classic restoration or a gem found in a barn. You will really never see a positive return.
