need some advice

So i have an 86 fc i bought about 2 and half years ago. it is an n/a model that i purchased a a whole turboII motor set, all drivetrain, and brakes for it. it also has tein coilovers and some other goodies. i never had time to get it finished up so alot of these parts are out of the car. i need to get rid of it becuase i am getting married and moving. i think im better off parting out. now main question. will i make more breaking down the complete motor and selling all parts or sell as a motor set with ecu, tranny, harness ect. I wish i could see this project through but i bought a new wrx back in dec and have been having fun with it instead of working on the 7

There is no doubt that selling it as a complete swap is the easiest option and I wouldn't do it any other way.

easiest yes minus shipping, but will it bring the most money in your opinion? roughly how much does an s4 13bt, tranny, harness, ecu, maf, and pressure switch go for these days?

"How much money" depends on how you value your time and how long you're willing to pursue the sale.

$1,000-$1,900 <- Depending on condition. And that is only what you've labeled in the 'quoted' above. You may have a better sale if you're able to provide mileage and compression results on the engine.
