Is it worth it at all?

Hey everyone. As some of you may know I landed my first parts car last week, a '74 Duster /6 Auto which I plan to part out and use to help upgrade/restore my '70 318 Duster. The thing I'm wondering is, would it be worth it to pull the slant-6 out of the '74 to keep just for the heck of it? I have always wanted to experiment with a nice turbo slant-6, although I don't think my parents would like having an old engine sitting in the corner of our garage for 10 years. I just feel bad leaving it to the crusher, because when I'm finished with the '74 it'll be scrapped (whatever's left of it of course). I don't know the condition of the engine yet, but being a slanty, I'm sure it'll still tick like a fine watch once I get it started and running.
