D282 Engine. What should I expect to pay.

I have a chance to buy a D282 engine for a 706 diesel. The chap had a 706, with new tires and a good drive line, but it needed engine work. Rather than do the engine he acquired another tractor that had poor tires and needed serious transmission work, with the intention of doing an engine swap. He removed the engine from the parts tractor and never got around to doing the swap before passing away. It has been stored inside a heated garage since then. I heard it run before he removed it and it sounded nice, and had good oil pressure too.

What should I expect to pay for what I'll call a good 'drop-in' engine, complete with injection pump and water pump.

You'd know!

ps - I picked up a parts engine for the 9 last Friday. I got it for $200 so it can't be much over scrap price. It was supposed to have the 4.5s in it, but in my preliminary measuring (with a carpenter tape) it looks to have the 4.4s. I was hoping for the big boys so I wouldn't have to mess with any sleeves. The eBay ad said that only one pistion was stuck, but then when I went to pick it up they guy said that three went up and down with the sleeves and one stayed put. Uh...I think that means they are all stuck...You can't see much red rust in there so they should be pretty easy to unstick.
