I used 8.5:1 Manley pistons, 2011 nitrided crank, ACL bearings, STi head gaskets, ARP studs, and Eagle rods. I also dropped off my mostly complete engine at Subaru to have the valves adjusted for just shy of $250. My full build came in a smudge over $2,000. You can take your time, learn how to do it yourself and save a bunch of money. Or pay someone else to do it for much more. I prefer doing my own so I know EVERYTHING that goes into it.

There's no black magic involved when putting an engine together but there is a lot of common sense and reading involved.
How did you get a hybrid build for $2,000?! From what i have seen, the internals cost more than that alone.
