2.3L ('02-'11) 2.3 Threw a Con Rod, Worth rebuilding?

[SamHyde]

Just traded and got a 06 2.3 ranger.
Precious owner was messing around and snapped a conrod. The block looks to be intact. Would it be worth it to attempt a rebuild or new engine.

Personally, time means nothing to me I’m just looking to do what’s cheapest excluding the cost of tools.

I would do junkyard engine from a pull a part or upull it. No idea whats cheaper though
