Default what are these old parts worth?

I am working on a 427 build and as these projects tend to do, it is out off control! I am thinking about changing to some newer parts on the recommendation of the builder and I would have some really low milage good stuff left over. I guess that my idea was if these parts have a reasonable value, then I can afford to upgrade.

Here is what I have:
Polished LeMans rods with ARP bolts
Edlebrock f427 intake
Stock 427 TRW pistons with new rings

I was planning on using all this stuff but the engine needed bored(which was a surprise) and I would like to go with a BT intake to match the BT heads and because I was using light weight pistons, I would like to use lighter H-beam rods. Anyway, I know most of you have more experience with FE stuff than me so give me your opinion.

I see the average set of LeMans rods selling for $250-400+ on ebay. This depends on condition and if they have been rebushed and sized or not. Lemans rods ready to install are close to $450 a set. I can only guess on the intake at $250-300 maybe. Used pistons again maybe $200-up?? I sold an old set of 406 forged .030 TRW flat tops for $200. However these have not been made for some years and are hard to find. G.
