I am considering upping the engine in my IM Roadster to a Chico 2110. The engine I have is great, but as always wanting a little more punch for our mountain area. I rebuilt the top end about 800 miles ago with new Mahle pistons and cylinders. 6500 miles on the engine. 40 idf Webers, electronic ignition. Dansch 356 exhaust,...
Sadly I do not know the interior specs . But it was built for cruising in Miami, so I imagine all is pretty stock.  

The engine  is in the car and would be available to cold crank, drive, and put on the lift to see below . Doing a compression test next week. 
Keep in mind this is not Chinese parts. It was originally built in 2004.

Just curious on value.  

I might simply keep it. I only drive the car once a week or so... And we need a new hvac system in our house and shopping a British car now too.  So money is evaporating these days.
:-).   
I am just getting info at this point.

Not to intervene, Carlos but I'm considering selling my Krewenchuk built 2332 soon. Good running engine, no details on internals but insiders say it would be well founded. Dual Weber 38's. About 31,000 miles on it. 3:88 tranny too. No build details on it. Dry sump 12 l. oil capacity. Drove home from Vancouver to Ottawa last October and up to now with no issues. No real idea of fair value. No leaks either. In the car and running today. Pics and video available.  Any ideas appreciated. Offers welcome.

Pricing on a used engine is tough.
If I were shopping one, I would want at least to drive it in the car (like what I am offering) or a dyno test - (I don't have access to one near me.).

No one has mentioned numbers, but I am thinking $3.5k for my CB, because it is fairly pristine with under 7k miles.
(David's, I don't know. )

Another approach is to find a bug with a 2110 engine and swap engines, then sell the bug with the 1835 cb engine.  Could be the best way to come out financially on this, but it is a 'song and dance' that takes time.
(And there is also the aging home mechanic issues - rotator cuffs going - again.)

Or simply sell my IM where she sits with the 1835, and start all over. 

Lots of options.

I sold my 2276 dual 44 weber engine that had beak in time only to a guy on this site in 2017 for $6500.00 without the vintage speed Sebring exhaust. That sold to someone else for $1000.00. The buyer was very happy with the engine and is running it in his Beck 550 Spyder. The engine did have a Raby DTM fan shroud and was built by a reputable formula Vee  racing engine builder from Cincinnati Oh.  $3500.00 for your freshened CB motor sounds like a very fair price.

Say it isn't so! 

Yeah, if that's the case then something's going on...
