After nearly 30yrs and 300k miles (and god knows how many owners), my 1995 Legacy finally kicked the bucket and seized the stock EJ22E. Coincidentally, my '03 Legacy OBW ate the cyl #4 bearing just a few weeks before, so because I'm on a budget and looking for a bit more power for Rally Cross, I'll be taking the 251 shortblock (tore it apart last weekend to inspect it, and the internals were fine, but I will be ordering a new crank and new bearings) and putting the 22E heads on it.
In this thread, I'll be trying to post updates of the process of this build as well as documenting the parts that are required for doing this project. This is my first time building an engine, so I probably won't be able to give much advice but if anyone is wanting to do this project in the future, I can share some of my experiences.
