OM617 Worth keeping spare?

Hi Guys,

I'm going to be junking my one 82 300SD (green). The body has seen better days. I have another 300SD (gold) that I'm going to be restoring eventually.

At some point I thought "hey I'll pull the 617 out of the green SD and store it." Now I'm questioning that logic and only thinking I should save important bits like the injection pump and turbo (it was recently rebuilt).

The gold SD has 144k or so. The green has 283K. The motor was allegedly rebuilt a bit before we bought it in 2007.

What do you guys think?
