I’d get the engine rebuilt if it was my car, in years to come you will want that matching numbers engine.
I rolled my 72S on the 2000 West Cork Rally. Bought a replacement bare shell for $1200 with the intention of swapping over. I didn’t have he money then to have the car repaired so it sat out in a yard for 12 years, and there was nobody in Ireland experienced or skilled enough to rebuild it. Somewhere in that twelve years I sold the replacement shell. In 2012 I brought the car to Ninemeister in the UK and he repaired it better than new , coming back to me in late 2014.
Along the way I had sold the original 2.4S engine and then bought it back from the same guy twenty five years later.
Had I gone ahead with my reshelling plan I wouldn’t have the magnificent original 911 I have now.
