purpepletr Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If I wanted to buy a built short block where would I look? What engine code should I be looking for? I'm not new to cars, but new to Subaru.. I would pull the heads off my current engine and have them gone through and then assembled everything from there.. car is an 05 legacy gt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purpepletr Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 I did use the search, didn't find my answer. I can find lots of places to buy the parts. I want something complete. I guess eBay it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianEarlSpilner Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 So there is no off the shelf "built" block you can buy. Well you could spend $15k on a Cosworth long block but I doubt that's the route you were looking for. Like everyone is saying, and Tris will chime in, you want a shortblock from Heuberger Subaru. What you do to it from there is up to you, but it is the most logical starting point. EJ257 is what you're looking for. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/engine-rebuild-shopping-list-226719.html EBay would be the biggest mistake you could make with these cars.

MrTris Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Purplepeter? What does that even mean? OP, get the eBay block. You NEED 500hp. It'll change your life for the better. You'll get laid more often. The stock block is weak --it can only handle 350hp, max -- and can't handle the power you need to ensure that your dick is the biggest swanger on the road. After all, that's why you bought a Subaru, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnJack Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 There are several places that build blocks. Rallyspec EFILogics P&L Motorsports (Chicago) Flat4 motorsports Phoenix performance Cobb tuning Depending on who you talk to, there are good and bad reviews for all places above. The price varies and so does the quality. I would also stay away from ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baconbits Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 How much are you looking to spend? Seems to be only one appendage... up to OP to decide if it's an arm or a leg. New OE block from Heuberger is the route to go with that budget. If you have an extra arm (Tris was born in Chernobyl), you can put some goodies on it by selling two appendages.

lingling1337 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If you searched and didn't find Rallispec, you deserve an eBay block. Purplepeter? What does that even mean?

I'm looking for a built short block that I can put some heads on and my accessories and put in my car. Why is this so hard to comprehend? Between CapnJack and myself we have given you a bevy of options. How much $$$ do you want spend? Its up to you. You asked a question and got some fair answers. Just because you don't like the answer doesn't mean you have to act belligerent. There are far too many factors for a simple answer. These aren't small block Chevy's. Depending on turbo and fueling combos (power goals), your level of necessary internals will vary. You haven't provided any information on that matter so how can we provide credible advice? Just a block to bolt your heads on? I posted a link with a write-up including part numbers to that end. Search the companies CapnJack mentioned. What else do you want?

It sure didn't read originally that you were giving those that gave advice a thanks.
