The value of a 2.1l in good shape is quite good - after all, a
remanufactured engine (or full rebuild on yours) is worth (or at least
costs) $2,500USD.  What to ask for it depends on a couple of things:

1.  how much you are including (e.g. both heads, injectors & hoses, AFM,
alternator, any exhaust pieces...)
2.  engine condition (compression on all 4 cyls, oil pressure if known,
recent work/components, oil or coolant leakage)

For a complete engine with 113, no leaks, and complete, you should ask for
about $1,000 IMHO.
