Default what use is st running gear?

ive been offered a full st running gear but wouldnt knwo what to use it in,

its got no history but is a complete front end to fit into something else, doubt it'd go into a mk4 escort or anything liek that

is it worth getting in to?

it seems very cheap at £1300 the lot! (also had fiesta st gear at £1000) woudl that be better?

what you guys think?

ive just bought a st 170 engine and 6 speed gearbox for 400 quid.
seen the same on ebay for 700,so 1300 sounds a bit expensive.
