I'll sell the 4.6 as whole, so basically I'll build up a new M62 and the only part I'll take from the current 4.6 is the AWD oil pan.

A damaged M62B44 costs about 300 Euro in Germany, from which I'll only get the non-vanos heads for the new B44 block and oil pan for the current 4.6 to sell it complete and working.

The 4.6l engines are very in demand, so according to my calcualtions it's the best way to sell it complete and not just the block.
