If you went by that reasoning, then the only engines that are rebuildable are ones from A’s being hotrodded and the chassis is sold off.
I think some engines just needed more repair work than the car was worth, say in he 50’s or 60’s. Sure some are not rebuildable, and over time, they’ve been picked through, with the better ones used.
I have several that are decent candidates for rebuilding, although they’ve only been pressure tested, and visually inspected so far.
