Looking to see what the values are of these?

The motor is the S50B30US with a M3 box and quickshift
mileage around 80k and is currently sat in a e30 m3 shell

I understand the cams are worth a bit but as a complete engine/loom/box whats it worth?

I'll put this here because there'll be lots of people who don't know why US engines are so difference.

Can't help you on price, but it should be more than a normal M50 conversion, less than an S50...
