Ive been reading several forums regarding hybrid/frankenmotor, figured I'd give it a try. I have a 1998 Legacy GT Shwagon EJ25D AT the motor runs fine but has a slight piston slap when cold (just let it warm up before driving) however its time to consider a rebuild. My plan is to use the 98 EJ25 short block, 95 2.2 single cam heads w EGR, and 97 or newer 2.2 intake manifold. I understand what gaskets and timing belt to use. My other option is A 96 2.2 block with the 25D heads and intake slap a TD04 on the stock 98 EJ25D ECU at 10psi. Will either of these setups work? keep in mind I'm on a budget
