Selling Blackbird engine/dry-sump/extras - value?

Hi there - new member here!

Last year I bought a Blackbird-engined Caterham with the intention of tidying it up for the road.
It went really nicely, but it's too much of a compromise for a road car, so I am putting a K-series back in it.

I've stripped most of it and have the following left over, which I intend to sell, but have no real idea of value:

o fuel-injected (2001, I think) Blackbird engine, covered approx 5k miles and starts/runs like new
o Nova dry sump installation, complete, including sump/pump/braided pipes/etc.
o Power commander
o Trickshifter (same as current Flatshifter pro)
o 3.14 diff with LSD (ZF, I think)
o clocks (11k on the speedo (this is the second engine in the car)
o Datatool gear display
o datatool (I think) flexi shiftlight display

Any idea on values?

I may re-use the LSD, in which case I would sell a bare diff with the 3.14 crownwheel/pinion.

many thanks for your help!

Cheers - Simon

personally I would give the k series a miss due to the overheating problems go For Ford or Vauxhall
