To answer the question in the title I would say it depends on the buyer but you'll never get your money back on the engine. I recently bought a 98 Electra Glide EVO with a 96" S&S crate engine with an HSR carb, I paid $9K Canadian ready to ride, if I were to buy just the engine itself in my dollars it would cost me $10K Canadian. So the seller lost his shirt and I paid maybe the same as what it would cost to buy a stock evo powered bike.

Any bike with an aftermarket engine if the buyer has half a clue say's it's beat on and rode hard, you add ponies and not use them. Be a very small select group or a young dewey eyed clueless hot to trot newbie who would be willing to chance one. And I'm seeing more and more of the last type coming in other forums and SM platforms trying figure out what they got themselves into. Worse of it is they do not want to hear what you tell them.
