The only way id be paying £3.5k for a bug engine is if its fully forged and a very good spec. Standard sti engines go for £1-1.5k on here and sometimes cheaper. Make sure you aren't being had in the bag mate.

be cheaper to buy a fully forged engine for yours if its just an engine you are after,
its also New then, not a 2nd hand gamble. . .
