Agree with dave here. No offense but you sound EXTREMELY optimistic.... So your looking at $3500 for a shell? and your going to want a clean shell... No overhead for random parts you might need?

thinking the install will go as planned is the biggest mistake you can make :lol: We all know that never happens...

Well then $3500 extra should be plenty for extra parts. Best of luck!

I have a wrx shortblock just the block you dont want to reuse parts but the block is good cylinders need to be honed

i have the crank/rods also one of the pistons is cracked so i took the entire motor apart and used it for the heads for my motor build.

200. plus shipping its urs if your gonna build a motor id go this route
