Newbie with a problem, advice needed please.

As such, selling the cylinder heads would probably be a bit problematic when the assumption in your earlier comment seems to be that they're going to be built onto the new short engine.
For the avoidance of doubt, a short engine comprises just block, crank/pistons/rods and bearings. Given this, the inference is that pretty much everything else from your brother's old engine will be re-used.
Under these circumstances you should ensure that a new oil cooler modine, and ideally oil pump, willl be fitted.

Eh? In your earlier post you say that "the engine is built up from a short motor and the various other parts supplied to the builders...".

I understand the desire to have a new engine with a 3 year, 30,000 mile warranty.
BUT, Just check if that warranty applies if the engine is fitted outside of a Subaru dealership. Parts supplied to people such as us have no warranty back up from Subaru. It took me 9 months to get a credit for a dodgy short motor that failed as soon as the key was turned first time.
That would have been built by Linwoods.
Even then, I only got back what I paid :- no compensation for our labour, nothing for the garage labour costs to remove and re-install, nothing for transportation. NOTHING. ZIP, NADA, ZILCH,as in NOWT.
If it looks to good to be true..................................
