Now what: replace engine (b230ft) or sell off rolling chassis (745T)? 700 1992

I need some suggestions here, folks. My old reliable Ghost has thrown a rod.

Should I swap in a replacement engine? And stick with B230FT to avoid computer issues? Or go with something more modern and easy to repair, maybe OBD-2 included?
Closest Yard wants $500 for an engine, and that climbs to $700 by the time my pro mechanic installs it, no counting 10+ hrs of labor to do the whole swap thing.

Or should I just liquidate the old thang? Is a rust-free (Texas) rolling chassis of a 1992 745T worth much to y'all?
