No the value would not go up. There is no way to prove that that engine had x amount of miles on it. The value will always be based on the actual mileage on the cluster.

Go to this link, click on start and fill in the options and it will give you a price.

No one will believe you anyway as most all used engines are sold as low mileage which cannot be proved. Yes, I am certain that some have had transmission issues. Remember your car is 10 years old and is most likely not worth what the value of the junk yard engine and the repaired transmission is.
