Default Should I part out my 951 or put it's engine in a n/a?

I have a 87 951 that is totalled. The frame is bent a little on one side in front. The nose has a crack in it but everything else is perfect. The a/c cooler is done same with the oil cooler. Engine is still perfect and very strong-I would trust my engine for another 100k. Trans included. Do I sell it for parts or do I buy a n/a and swap the engine. Oh, by the way, the underbody stuff...ya, thats gone too.

That pains me to see yet another 951 bite the dust . 944 I don't care but 951 's ouch. Good ones are almost non existent anymore and they are getting rarer and rarer.

If you decide to sell, how much for the complete engine, DME, wiring harness, transmission, and intercooler?
