unless they only replaced the short block, in that case, the block itself may be worth a bit.

Post it up on the for sale board and see what happens. I'm sure there are people looking for a complete engine to rebuild for a monster HP build. Spun rod bearings are fairly easy to resolve, since most reputable engine builders go through the block and rotating assemblies to make sure there are no problems.
Other option: rebuild it for your own monster HP build...
