Default Question to my Neon Experts

I have a motor i just pulled out of my neon. it was knocking, and it sounded like it was coming from the block. my question is, as the motor sits right now, head still attached, alternator, powersteering pump, and ac compressor gone, how much do you think i could get for it?

I can buy them in good running condition for 200-350 at the very most. Lucky as heck to get 150 in my opinion.

if its got a knocking, i wouldnt plan on getting any more then $100 or so..
if the knocking is comming from the block then its probally a rod bearing...if thats the case, a new rod might be needed, new bearings, and the crankshaft may have to be either replaced or resurfaced.....all of which would cost sumwhere around $400 or more since all the gaskets would need to be replaced as well.....
doesnt sound good if good running motors can be purchased for anywhere from $100-$500
