Default WORTH? Better to part or sell whole?

All parts listed below have less than 2000 miles
383
Stock heads with 918 springs and titanium retainers
Callies 4 bolt splayed Caps
eagle forged rods and eagle forged crank
Diamond pistons
236/245 114lsa .569/.580
Canton pan.
CSR electric waterpump
Dynaspark opti
30#svos
Melling Oil Pump
Pro mag 1.6 rockers with custom length Hardened Push rods
Cloyes Double roller
What could I ask as a long block and short block?
I'm thinking of selling the car whole or parting it out and can't decide what to do
I also have a like new 9 inch with true trac posi and 3.90 gears
dennys driveshaft
Mcleod street twin with everything it came with
TNT F1 nitrous kit with bottle warmer and a digital window switch
Electric cutout valve with stainless used for the cutout
Strut tower brace, adj panhard bar
17X11 and 17X9.5 Black afs zr1s with almost new goodyear eagle f1 d3s
The car is my formula a 97 with 106k on the clock it was bought as a rebuilt title. I have never had structural problems with it at all.

Car dynoed 390/390 through the street twin dennys shaft and 9 inch on heavy wheels with stock heads and is running real well right now. There are no bugs with it anymore basically every issue I had with the car ended up being an opti and now with the dynaspark it's been good.

So what do you guys think better to sell as a car or part it out?

Reason I'm thinking of it is because I have another car and a new r1 and I wnat to move out so this is what I should be able to get the most money out of and I would like to do a ls1/rx7 in about a year to year and a half when I have more money again

Part it out you'll lose less. No if you find another enthusiast you may get your $ worth but I doubt it still because people always are cautious w/ a modded car. Interested in the EWP, 9" and DS if you do decide to part it out though.

Part out and put back to stock, or part out and sell as a roller or part every thing and scrap the shell.
