Scrap or rebuild 3vzE(also free parts)

Hello,

I am doing a om617 build in my 94' 4runner.

The motor has about 180k (blown head gasket) should I rebuild the engine and sell it?
Are they worth the time to rebuild? I HATE this motor and would never put it in future build much rather have a 20r/22r(slow and reliable)

Thanks
GK

p.s.
If I do make a coffee table out of the block; I'll have lots of free parts if anybody wants them also doing a SAS so front end parts too

Honestly,

I wouldn't bother rebuilding a 3ZVE. I would much rather pull a used one from 1987 to 1989 years and run it. About to hit 400k on mine, never rebuilt.
