Whats blown?

Bearings: Non genuine $300 Genuine $900.
Gaskets: Around $500
Timing Belt: $180

You'll need rings on top of that more than likely, and thats assuming that your pistons, rods and crank are fine. If not, you'll need some machine work done, and its worth decking the block and heads to make sure they are perfectly flat. Budget another $500 odd for the machining, if your lucky.

Just quoting prices off the top of my head, but it'll give you a rough idea. Prices will vary. When rebuilding an engine, ALWAYS budget for more than you think, cos it ALWAYS ends up costing more.

or buy a 207 short block & gaskets and your done, no machining necessary

doesnt tell me the cost of parts. balistc has answered my question thanks

it is not known wat is blown, it is a car i am thinking of purchasing with a blown motor. father looked at it for me but couldnt really tell. could be anything, i was guessing to rebuild the entire motor .

Just buy a brand new 02 sti short motor,theses come with factory forged pistons $2750+gst at Regents 92732000 ask for John at spare parts.

/\ thanks mate. it will bolt straight up to a 00 sti?

bolt on. all you have to do is recondition your heads, get new gaskets, timing belt, etc and done
