Having two engines sounds like the perfect opportunity to learn. Sure wish
I had an extra.

Yeah. Get a good shop manual and start tearing into the one you're not
going to put in the car. You might find that engine rebuilding is not the
heavy wizardry you may think it is. Even if you manage to mung it up badly
(you'd probably have to make an active attempt to fail), you'd still come
away with scads of knowledge you can apply to maintaining the other.
