New Engine--need advice

All:
To make a long story short, i have a '99 9-5 2.3 lpt, 55k miles, blk/blk. Last friday (jan 7), my oil light flickered slightly at idle--i called roadside assistance, and they picked up the car (it's a CPO, and the warranty runs until september). I've been driving a 9-3 loaner since then.
I spoke to the service manager today, and he confirmed that a new engine had arrived--apparently there was something so horribly wrong with the engine that saab is replacing the entire thing. Very surprising to me, since I've had minimal problems with the car thusfar, and the only symptom was a weak flicker of the oil light at idle.
Anyhow, i had been planning to sell the car in august or september--should the installation of a new engine change my plans to sell in late summer/early fall? Should I put it on the market as soon as it comes back? Does the new engine make it worth any more than it was, and if so, when do i stand to gain the most?
Any advice/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
--Scott
