2.5 crank and rods in 2.0 block . What pistons ?
Hi all got a 2.5 sti block and was going to run that with my sti version 5 heads . What put me off was the matching of head to block and compression ratios etc . Now thinking more along the route of using the crank and rods from the 2.5 in my 2.0 block . My goal is 400BHP so the 2.5 sti crank and rods should be good for that . My question is what pistons will i need ? Also i assume the same thickness headgasket as currently used will suffice ?

v5 heads work very well with 2.5 block. For the cost i'd closed deck convert the block and put a decent set of rods in it or you will regret not doing them later.
