you could sell it, invest the money. When you need an engine later buy a better one

I wondered this myself, I would just be worried about it locking up over the time. Diffenetly change the oil to new oil, try to clean out all the coolant, maybe fill the block up with new coolant, by block the water pump openings, that way the seals wont dry out. Just some suggestions. Also tap off all the ports, and excess holes you have.
