Default should i split my engine?

I've got a 205 block thats had a rebuild with a YBP (small) escort cossie cylinder head on it.

Would it be worth more split or as a whole?

thanks

Well you can get £250 for crank, £100 for rods, £50 odd for the block, god knows how much for the cylinder head, probably £300 odd?

Cams are worth nowt, used pistons are worth nowt, but alternator, water pump, thermostat + housing, sensors etc all sell well.

£700 is a good price for a 2wd bottom end

Think about it

a good crank sells for £400
rods £150
block£100
sump£70
oil pickup pipe £50
front pully £50

not bad is it

Where do you get cranks from ( unground ) for less mate , because i sell them for that easily Also sumps sell for £70 again no probs
You are just a tight fooker

Remember these items are hard to find now ,,Most cranks have been ground
