I rebuilt a “spare” engine years ago and it stood under the bench while I repaired and refurbished the engines I already had in the other cars.
I ended up giving it away as a spare engine when I sold a car as it was getting in the way, the money I got for the car probably covered 25% of the rebuild cost.
My suggestion would be if you are concerned about cost leave the motor under the bench. If you want the fun of rebuilding it ( which I find very therapeutic) keep a photographic record should you want to sell it and crack on!
