A true basket case is probably in the $2K range. A non-runner but all there might be $4-5K. A decent runner could be easily over $7-8K. I guess my take would be at the low end...$1-2K??
Have your friend check the frame VINs against this orphan list...maybe the engine is out there somewhere:

Thanks for the input Kurt. This was in response to an individual on the SovietSteeds Ural/Dnepr forums who was thinking that a Ural drive train might fit into the /2.
He was convinced that down-grading the /2 to Ural gear wasn't the way to go and that by the time all the extraneous machine work, custom fabrication was done the money involved would too great. Since Friday (9/29), he has located an R80 engine and transmission and ready to start. The chair he has is an old Steib TR500, so this should make a really nice rig. And, he'll have leftovers to sell!
I'm looking forward to his progress reports, and have to admit to quite a bit of envy...

Wow; that was a labour of love.
A lot of work has gone into compiling that list...it's been around a long time. I saved 5 engine cases from the dumpster that were at a widow's house in Ft. Collins, CO. Rather than that happen, I went up there and brought them back. They're safely in my attic. Fingers crossed...maybe someone will come up with the matching frames.
