What are the FJ1200 Engines Worth?

I have a 1992 FJ1200 complete engine, might include carbs that need rebuilt.  It has 56,xxx miles on it and was running when pulled.  I didn't do a compression check, it was not buffing smoke, and it felt and sounded as expected.

I am wondering what it might be worth?

I was going to use it while I repaired my 89's starter clutch and gave my engine a good once over.  But, I am thinking of just having the 89 engine completely gone through, blue printed, balanced, new parts, valve job, etc.  This will give me down time with the bike which I don't care for (live in Florida), but I could use the extra funds for the rebuild.  I may even see If I can use towards the payment for the shop work.  Or, if it is not worth a bunch, I will just keep as a back up, or garage art.  Not really sure at the moment  :scratch_one-s_head:

Chime in.  I just wanted to bounce this off some people in the "Know."   :good2:

Later.
