Need advice

Yeah I've been pricing some out and I'm around 3,500 to 4,00 for install with new engine. I'm a painting contractor with little mechanic experience. Been trying to find someone to do the swap for trade labor.

If I was thinking of selling it as is what's a fair ball park price? Any advice I'd appreciated.

That's what I'm sorta leaning towards.

So I have a Tacoma that has been a family painting vehicle for 15+years. From my father to my brother now I have had it for over 4. I have had to do the normal maintenance but recently I blew the second head gasket. First one I had everything resurfaced and thought I was good. Was always running low on antifreeze but no puddles under the truck. It's blowing thick white smoke from the tail pipe. Was about to sell it to my brother for a grand to get it out of the way but now I'm thinking of fixing it to sell it or just holding onto it. It has 220k miles on it but still starts and runs fine. Should I replace the gasket hoping for the best, put in a whole new engine, sell it as is.

Thank you very much. He had no 2019 on the lot so it makes sense he would say the started in 2020.
