Well, it really depends on how much you're going to tear it down.
All gaskets
Front and rear main seals
water pump
all belts
timing chains and tensioners
oil pump (<- u sure? it's $$$), you may be able to get the rotor only
all hoses
clean injectors + new o-rings and maybe pintle caps
fan clutch (unless you're going electric)
thermostat housing (w/metal one)
Are you freshening up the head?
new valve oil seals
new tensioners?
new valves if needed?
check all lifters...
Basically go through every section of the pelican auto parts site and figure out what are the "wear parts"
If your replacing all of that, it would be wise to do a refresh its deff worth every penny to know what condition your motor is in!! (not much if you can do some of the things below yourself)
Going slightly OT but the Machining that should be done:
acid bath (important to be properly cleaned)
checked block cracks..magnafluxed
check bore specs
check block/ cylinder head mating surfaces. resurface/plain if needed.
bore/hone cylinders depending on clearances..
align hone the main bearing bores (if needed)
check all threads... repair/rethread or just clean!!
crank inspection for cracks or worn journals....polish/grind or replace if needed
rods spec'd and reconditioned
pistons cleaned and checked, check ringlands extra close!
The list is not in the correct order and will continue to $$$grow$$$ but I don't know how deep you want to dig into you wallet..by the sounds of it not even this far.
For a ballapark ..all of this locally ran $900 assembled on the Supra's 7mgte (shortblock)..friend of a friend did the work..yah yah its not a 1j, or 2j..who cares...

Did you leak down test the motor by chance?
See, I am hoping I wouldn't have to deal with pistons/rods/crank at all though. Engine is at 129k, it's a 95. Basically I am trying to figure out if this is all worth it if I am paying only $500 for the complete engine.... or if it makes more sense to pay more upfront and try to find one with lower miles..
Give me a couple days and I can tell you what's in the head gasket kit and the bottom end gasket kit. I have both in my garage right now. I just got the engine/head back from the shop and I'm getting ready to reassemble.
If you pull the head, PLEASE, PLEASE replace the oil check valve in the bottom of the head. It just unscrews with a flat head. It is what causes the valve tick that many M5x motors are plagued with on start up.

Great, thanks! Please do and any info on exactly what you recommend a shop do and not do is appreciated.
Ditto. I'm sure to replace that little guy.
You should really do a leak down test though. If the head gasket is fine, leave it alone.
Btw, what plans do you have for this motor now? Have they changed since you started the thread?
Have not changed, it's for my 89 325i autox car. I have to check the rulebook to verify if I can under the rules increase it's displacement etc though.
the top end gasket kit includes everything except the front crank housing gaskets if i recall correctly. the oil pan gasket also doesnt come with that kit.

FRONT VALENCE IS ZENDER!!! STOP FILLING MY PM BOX PPL!!!
Yes, it does include the head gasket.
Ok, this is for a Victor Reinz Head Gasket Set
Valve cover gasket
Spark plug seals
Exhaust manifold gaskets
Vanos gasket
Valve oil seals (24)
Intake manifold gaskets
Throttle body gasket
Exhaust header to downpipe gasket
Seal washers for temp sensors, cps, vanos oil line, etc
Rear coolant flange gasket
Injector o-rings (12) <-that's what they look like anyways.
Some other washer-looking seals, not sure what they are for.
Thermostat housing gasket
