Subject:What's my engine worth?

I'm about ready to start converting my syncro over to an I4, and I'm
looking to sell the old 2.1.
I have no idea how many miles are on the engine; the van has 170K.
It's been a reasonably strong runner since I drove it home from LA 4
months ago, and it does fine in the mountains (albeit, slowly) when we
go camping.
Compression:
1- 85
2- 104
3- 95
4- 100
No coolant leaks, but the area around the head gaskets has always
looked very slightly damp.
The alternator and power steering pump would not be included. There is
no A/C compressor.
AFAIK, oil changes have always been with 20W-50, and regularly
scheduled.

So, what's it worth?
