Motor ran without oil. Toss it or rebuild?

Last season I lost an accusump line and ran the car completely out of oil because I’m an idiot. I’ve since swapped it out with a 2.7 but still have the old motor sitting around. It still runs but even with new oil in it you can hear the bearings. Are these worth rebuilding? Can I do anything creative like install a 3.6l crank? It’s an early 2.5

Cheers,
Stu
