Tbho I couldn't put a figure spent to date but it's defo 10k plus and that's without any labour with me being a mechanic/painter by trade BUT because I do it myself I had the option of buying parts in stages to go with what money I had but your going to have to fork out the engine money in one go which hurts bad I'm afraid so I really feel for you.

3500 for a full rebuild you lot are either insane or at home lighting cigars with fiftys surely unless its going over 420hp there is no need to go further than sti 7/8/9 parts
which can be done for half the amount
sorry if i sound tight but its alot of money to spend to have a oil pump or maf give up on your spanglin new engine at any point
