What should I ask for this

I was thinking of selling my current 358 SBC in the car and it's got some good stuff in it. I know it's not a high buck race engine and I will be selling it carb to pan.

.040 4 bolt block that was decked
SRP flat top pistons on PM rods with ARP bolts, 9.8: compression
Cast crank, Melling oil pump and 7 qt. kick out oil pan and windage tray and a SFI balancer
Engle .600 lift 254° duration solid roller on a 108° LCA
Comp Solid roller lifters, good pushrods 1.550 springs that match the cam and 10° locks
Harland Sharp Roller Rockers with a Crane stud girdle topped off with some polished valve covers
Sportsman II 200cc heads 64cc chambers that are ported with 2.05 intake and 1.6 exhaust valves.
Modified Eddy Air Gap intake that has a porting done to it
770 Holley Avenger (that really works)
I will leave the water pump with some pulleys and GM starter and flex plate on the engine.
Currently has about 45 passes on the engine since I replaced the rings and bearings and run 11.30's@117mph in the car on pump gas.
I will even toss in an extra MSD 6A and a MSD billet distributor also

I really want to do my 434 project but I already have too many engines, so what should I ask for this?
I was going to list it locally and since it's running so someone can hear it, I sold a carb to pan 400 last year for $2200 and I 'm thinking this one is worth a few more bucks.
 
I was thinking $3k as well Especially with receipts and still running in the car. a HUGE selling point that would put it above the others for sale.
 
Maybe I will ask $3500 and when they offer 3K they'll think they got a deal. Kind of funny as I fired the car up today with the new Auto Meter vacuum gauge on the car, with this big cam it still has 9.5" of vacuum at idle so it would make a great street engine.
