Is this 6.5 worth my time and money?

Today was a good day. Got the engine and look at what I found:

That really made my day! :-o Here she is, ready to be put into the trailer:

And a picture of the machine it came out of:

Also got a NP246 for free. The machine will be displayed next to the ice rink so it wasn't needed anymore.

Now I need to figure out what to do. I haven't done a whole lot of research, but I think I have take out the DS4 IP and put the DB2 IP from my 6.2 on there. The dual thermostat housing will be a problem from what I've read so far. I'm thinking of putting the whole front of the 6.2 on there, that way I also get to keep the dual gen setup. What do you guys think?

It would be the easiest way to retain the dual gen setup if you swap the IP, coolant crossover and front accessories and brackets. You'll need to swap waterpumps as well, v-belt rotates ccw, serpentine rotates cw....or maybe its the other way, can never remember.
