Are you selling or buying?
Selling - start high and be patient
Carbs 200 - block and head 500 plus another 500 for gear box? Pulling numbers from thin air as I haven’t seen a complete combo for sale for a while. Can’t say there would be high demand. Most people go for 240/280zx combos

Not sure about the carbs, but the block and heads, because of the potential of the L28, are not exactly in demand, I can't remember when last I heard of someone looking for a L26, value $50? Gearbox may have some takers, B type box in "as is" condition would be around $50, if refreshed and ready to go up to $700. Hopefully helpful. Pricing opinions may vary but both items unfortunately have a better option ( C type box for gearboxes, L28 for engines) available and plentiful for modifiers. Edit: the head is possibly the most valuable item depending on type and generation. Try listing all items with a decent and honest description, aim high.

Great thanks for the info, I'm considering selling the engine package from a 260z (going rb) might chuck it in storage and maybe build later if it's not worth much

If it's matching numbers for your car keep it. Hide it under the bench, under the bed or under your pillow but don't throw it away. As the RB will devalue the zed. If it's not matching numbers, then keep it as well as the RB will still devalue you car. If you ever come sell it then it will be worth more if you have the bits in a box. Uys my 2 cents.
