Impreza terzo bottem end options
 

Morning guys and girls I have a new project it's a 1998 terzo the bottom end has gone.
Just working out what short blocks are interchangeable. I have been offered a 1996 wrx bottom end would this work with my original heads
Any advice would be much appreciated thanks

Better option, depending on price is a new EJ207 short block

Thanks for replying. At the moment am trying to do it cheap as possible. Someone local is selling a 1996 wrx engine, am thinking is it possible to use the short block and fit my heads to it. Need to work out what head gasket I would need

How much is it costing you. But back to your original question I'm not sure but the guys on here will know :thumb:

The lads wanting £400 for the engine. Nice one last thing I want to do is buy it and there not compatible 👍🏽

depending on the exact age of the WRX engine / car it was removed from then it may have the earlier style hydraulic heads or it may be the first of the solid shim type set-up.......
does it still have the inlet manifold on??
the 96 and older engine you would want to swap your Terzo heads to, but the later 97-98 engine has basically the same as yours

Thank you for the information. It doesn't come with inlet manifold, do you know head gasket size I would need to mate it thanks

they both use the same circa 1.5mm head gasket set..........

does it have plain cam covers or are they logo'd with "4cam 16valve" ??

Thanks for the reply. I am waiting on message back from the seller. Will let you know soon as he replies. Will hunt around for a head gasket 👍🏽

we tend to have them on the shelf........

How do I go about buying them from you?

Give Alyn @ AS Performance a call. Thats who it is.

Nice one will give them a call 👍🏽

Just got a reply from the seller it says cam16vavle on the rocker covers.

Made a start stripping the engine down, for some reason it has x2 knock sensor fitted but only 1 wire there what connects

the lower one is the original, possibly it was faulty and someone simply took the easy option of adding another??
