Why would you scrap it? These engines are getting thin on the ground and will only keep rising in value.

Not many for sale these days, I only got myself a spare recently. I'd stick it indoors, turn it over occasionally and watch it appreciate. In the future, matching numbers will add a lot of value in my opinion. It adds value now for a clean car.
If you are going to sell it, keep the sump, easy broken and also getting harder to come across.
