Hi, leave it complete, it will take up less room and you won't lose any of the small bits.

Have a look on the owners forum (is there one?) to see what commonly fails on your type of machine  If you can't keep it complete, remove the head in 1 piece, also any bolt-on bits (alternator, starter, clutch, etc) - then scrap the block as it's the biggest / heaviest / bulkiest bit, and if your pistons or crank go bang in the future be prepared to get another complete motor to drop in. Beware getting grit or corrosion on the bits once they are removed and put into storage |

^this^ if you can't store it don't keep it. Stripping it will only render what you take to bits useless in the long run if you are just going to store it in the back of your van... I'm not sure I am understanding the logic... Nowhere to keep it, but stripping it solves the problem how? I'm not being sarcastic, genuinely curious about the situation.

And I agree, I'll take what I can of and most likely get rid of the block, just the spare parts I want.

I prefer to keep whole cars then I can strip parts as required. I am fortunate in that I live on a rural small holding so parking space for parts cars / wrecks is not an issue.
