No matter what happens, it will be at great loss. If I sell the chassis, I'll be looking at a loss of about $7-9k. If I replace the engine with a used one, it will be $4-7k out of pocket. If I rebuild it, it will likely cost me $4-5k. Those are the cheap options on a car that's worth $10-12k. Since most of what's in my pockets these days is lint, I'm leaning towards the first option, but haven't decided for sure yet.
