Just trying to determine the value of this 292 Y Block engine that is in a 1955 Fairlane. Manual Transmission, BW with R 11 Overdrive 
Specifics:
9,480 miles since professional rebuild, 2011
292 Block, running oil psi, 50-60 
312 heads, with all new seats, bronze valve guides, milled, have receipt, 920.00 in head work.
Edelbrock 1405, 600 CFM Carb, manual choke
Aluminum Intake, ,IM 312-4 V , Blue Thunder
Mallory Unilite Electronic Dist, with conversion kit and Pro Master Coil
Chrome Valve Covers
Valley Cover with breather box, John Mummert
Power Master, Chrome Alternator, 100 AMP
Power Master, Mini High Torque Starter, under 300 miles on it
Cam , Y-272S CSE 272-224-108-440", new lifters, push rods, looks like a complete kit from John Mummert Y Block in CA.
The engine pulls really good, never a wiff of smoke from the exhaust pipes on start up or acceleration . 
I drove the car to KY from Winchester, VA. 475 miles , no issues, so its a solid engine.
Don't have a clue when it comes to Y Block engine prices and values, I am an FE guy and have some SBF knowledge.
Reason I am asking, going to pull this engine and replace it , going a different direction on the build. Don't need any advise in that area, Not my first Rodeo.
Like to find a potential buyer and let them drive the car, hear the engine run, check it out before I pull the engine.

Only issue I have found is that the rear main seal leaks and the pan gasket needs to be replaced.

Be glad to answer any questions and would appreciate any information I can get. I am located in the Louisville, KY  area.
