How do you know the engine needs a rebuild? As others have pointed out, specific tests must be performed to determine a rebuild is necessary. How many miles are on the motor? I've had a Subaru 2.2L go nearly a quarter million miles, and it was still running fine when it was rear-ended and totaled.
I applaud your "build it and see for myself" attitude, but unless you have plenty of money to burn I would find out more before jumping into the project. That said, please report your findings here if you do end up doing the rebuild. Your results whether positive or negative are valuable information to share with everyone.
