Default Part out engine or sell as a whole?

Here is my question. Which route would be better to take when parting out a bike? Complete motor ready to run, or part the motor out?
Some specs on the motor are: 02 tranny, almost everything has been cryo treated, titanium rod, Craycraft porting, stage 2 cam or web 685, motor is entirely polished, and the list goes on. This motor is a Craycraft 730. This motor ran 4.9-5.0 at the sand drags consistently. Please let me know your thoughts on which would be the better way to go. Thanks

Like I said I think you'd get more parting it out.

You will get more parting it out, but you also have to deal with sending out the parts and trying to find buyers for everything. Its a lot of ebay auctions. You could sell a rolling chassis, unless you have another engine lying around to put in it. Then I would definately put the stocker in and sell the 730 separate.

My post too, did someone not like what we posted, it was my opinion.

Again, pm me on what you want for the motor.
