Around $100 or less I would imagine.  If I can get my hands on the catalog,
I'll check what our supplier charges for cores, but don't expect them to buy
yours for that price. :-)

Here is how I arrive at the $100 figure:

JDM SR20DE:  $550 (approx - can get boneyard engines for that too)
New crank:   $377

If a running enigne is worth $550 and a new crank cost $377, IMHO an engine
with a spun bearing (but rebuildable) is worth about $100 tops.  That's a
stretch IMHO.
