Here is a summary of the main parts that what Lithia wanted to replace (for $7078 )

Short Block
Timing Belt
Oil Pump
A bunch of gaskets
Adjuster of some sort
Idler
& Oil & coolant

I'd be more descriptive but that's all it says on their quote sheet, if you guys know part numbers I'll throw those up.

I have a complete (minus wiring harness, ecu, intake, and intercooler) 06 WRX Turbo engine
Simplicity says that you build the STi engine back up to avoid hybridizing issues. The shortblock is the only really expensive part, maybe it's just me, but I would think that a complete 06 motor would sell for enough to get all the stuff you need. Otherwise, as others have stated, tearing the 06 motor apart for the block (if same as 05 STi) and small bits might be feasible, and sell the rest.
