Go to a couple of auctions where they are selling what you want (or register on-line) and see what is the going rate.

I did the same. On-line auction. Stripped an SS ommodore, kept all wiring, engine, gearbox, diff, ECU etc. Sold most of the balance and that virtually paid for what I needed. End result was line-ball.
