Swap or nah?

I thought this would be the board for this, as most expenses are most likely noted off hand.

I built a 350 TPI, with everything NEW. literally not one used part on the engine, new iron 194 heads, GMPP block bored .030 over, LT1 cam, complete TPI intake, forged sealed power pistons, scat rods and crank, 4 bolt main block.. 1 pc rear seal. Engine is complete from pan to intake, and ready to run once the pulleys are thrown on and some sensors. Im thinking about selling it for as much as i can, and buying a used LSx and rebuilding it.

What should i expect to get for this build?
