If you are looking to drive and enjoy the car, I’d keep car #2 and get rid of #1, assuming the flood damage really isn’t anything. The salvage title will affect resale later, but these cars aren’t worth that much to start with so it’s not going to take a massive hit. It has half the miles, and the time/cost to switch the engine will likely make the salvage title loss negligible. Also, even though #1 doesn’t have a salvage title, people will see the engine swap and high miles and devalue it anyway.

Thanks!
