And the tranny new is another thing - I couldn't even find a current listing for it. An MTX new is 1900 + 1,000 core charge so the Getrag has to be at least that.

So at a minimum, not even allowing for shipping, the equivalent new is $7100 for a straight purchase - $5000 if you have cores to ship back.

I'm not sure where this gets you, other than to say depending on how many are out there, especially super low mileage, I would imagine the owner is asking upwards of $4500 to $5000.

edit: a quick google search and I found an apparently brand new SVT motor for 3300 USD including shipping, and a new reman with 3 yr warranty for under 2k ... so I guess more options out there than I imagined.
