From threadhread $1800ish is a good price for a rebuilt short block.

"Hummed and hawed over this for awhile, and finally decided to go with the reman short block from PNW Subaru (East Side Subaru dealership in Kirkland, WA) for $1800-ish plus $200 core charge. Also ordered Six Star gaskets and new head bolts, along with a bunch of stuff from Rock Auto (there is a lot of debate about reusing head bolts, but for $80, I might as well go new). I'll get my heads machined at Magnum in Burnaby, carefully looking for any cracks. This wasn't the cheapest way to go, but I should have a pretty solid engine by the time I am done. Starting the tear down this weekend, and will update as I go!"
