Save my engine? What should I do? 200 1985

I'm very close to having my 1985 244 completely parted out. I have all the good seats, dash parts, icu & cpu, sold the transmission, amm, and a rear axle, and swapped the ignition parts, fenders and headlights over to my 1987.

All that's left is to remove the fuel pumps and fuel pressure regulator for a 245 that I may purchase for $275 (very little rust, has a fuel delivery issue). I may salvage the brake booster, master cylinder, and blower motor as well.

So all that's left is the engine. 216,xxx miles, doesn't leak a drop, all new front seals and timing belt... it ran wonderfully before I decided to junk the body of this car due to rust and getting rear-ended. Do I just let it go to the junkyard? My 1987 that I just got has only 156,xxx miles, so I don't need it for myself, unless I decide to keep it as a rebuild (turbo?) project, which I'm not inclined to do at this point.

Is it worth it or not?
