Find a roller or sell the engine?

I've got a good running 2.4 MFI engine (from a T, I believe) that I need to do something with. No smoke, minimal drips, good compression, etc. I'm torn as to whether I should try to find an early roller body to put the engine in or just sell the engine.

Part of me wants to build a 911 the way I want it, But, that's an expensive route.

The practical part of me says the MFI engine is worth good money and I should just sell it and apply the money towards a running car.

Thoughts?

Sell the engine and buy a complete car. Plus there may be someone looking for that engine (or year at least) and it would be a win-win. No sense if you could get a decent price for it. However, without real numbers on the engine, knowing when or if it was rebuilt, is sort of a crapshoot for anyone that buys it (especially at a larger number).

I have a 68 912 roller that you can convert to a 911
It needs everything so it is a big job

What’s the engine number? List it on EarlyS to see if car and engine can be reunited
