Soo a good friend of mine is parting his engine... he wants a more subtle daily build... I've tried to talk him out of it...

he has a WRX CLUB SPEC AWD EVO IV with the following...


INTERNALS : Closed-deck STi block, 2.5L knife-edged crank, custom forged rods, Arias pistons and rings, ACL bearings, ARP studs, ported and polished head, Crower 272? cams and valves, STi valve gear, JUN adjustable cam gears, 8.5:1 compression ratio

INDUCTION/INJECTION/IGNITION: HKS air filter, blow-off valve, 30375 turbocharger, 60mm Progate II and intercooler and piping kit, STi oil pump, catch can, Earl?s fittings, X-Force tuned-length manifold, polished inlet manifold and throttle body, Bosch 044 in-tank fuel pump, 850cc injectors, Sard rising-rate fuel regulator, Blitz Spec R boost controller


Pretty much, this workshop wants to swap their stock used EJ207 engine + a brand new VF34 + all free labor charges for his block and turbo.... is it worth it ? is it a fair trade ?
