Bargain! even with postage

Tony - first post above is with a brand new shortblock from Subaru, I reckon its a bargain at this price even with shipping...here you get recon blocks...

The 4 new links in this post with the recon blocks still cheaper even after shipping...

hmmmmmm future temptation...
Then again I'd rather have someone here build it so that I can go bang on his head with a piston if something fucks up....
Unless one of our resident yanks knows this motorsport shop or heard of them

LOL

Not worth it when you factor in that shipping price + import duties

It's just a short block too, so add another 5k for headwork...unless you just want a nice bottom end and standard heads (pointless)

Heads make the power, bottom end holds it together.

There's no problem using your existing block in a build...I reused my old 207.

If I was you, I'd do turbo and tune like you're planning...if that's not enough, drive it till you spin a bearing and build a closed deck, sleeved 257 with cams and headwork.

yea I guess could always borrow a mates car for a couple of weeks while the block is out...saves using a recon block and a bit of coin too...

will stick to my plan of turbo and injectors for now and not go too hard in terms of power...then later when I've saved enough, push more psi and when it goes do like you said...

Ta for the info

Will go well with your purchase of a Blouch turbo, expect at least 12,000 torques.
