I love I6 my 54 has appropriate motor

I bought a 1950 parts truck and decided to bring it back from the dead.

I thought it had a 1950 216 but it turns out to be 1953 truck or manual tranny car motor. Kind of a one off engine w/ 54 and later head but the 2 nut valve cover rather than the 4 bolts on the side

Pulled valve cover and side cover (like 54 235 not like 216) , it was used but not to funky;

Next came the head, no rust and a ridge that could probably honed out...

I am not going to rebuild this one as I have 2 power glide 235s.

Should it go to scrap yard or should I shove it in the corner?

How many of you guys have spare engines sitting around?
