Default How much could i break a 2WD engine for???

Thinking of funding another engine for my 2WD saph by breaking the current one that's in the car, how much could i be looking at (roughly)for each bit of the engine if i broke it for parts??? The engine does run but not perfect, and hasn't been rebuilt as far as i can tell. PM me if you like, this IS NOT A FOR SALE POST (thought i'd better add that) so don't even bother wasting your time deleting this thread (you can move it if you like) and sending me ridiculous infractions, im merely trying to find out if it's worthwhile ditching the engine in favour of a second hand unit.

Thanks, and much love.

LOL, I can't have the wife moaning at me if i have to payout for ANOTHER rebuild, so I'm kinda looking for a way for the car to pay for itself if you know what i mean, bits are already there, so if i can flog crank/block/head etc there's gotta be a few hundred quid there surely so i could pickup a rebuilt motor with a few k's on it already, or even if i just sell the bottom end for parts and get the head redone and lookout for a goodish bottom end to replace it.
