subilicious Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Hi there, Managed to blow a piston on my 08 Legacy GTB and need a new short block. Thinking of going cosworth SB8005 and was wondering if anyone new the cheapest place to source. Thanks Dave
rob-2 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Rabbit trail. Do you need to replace the block? Why not bored/hone it?
Xplosivo1 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 IMO Cosworth is overpriced and uneeded unless you are racing it. Agree with Rob-2 why not bore/hone and upgrade pistons?
GEE-OTTO Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Why not buy OEM EJ255/7 SB? Arrives at your door assembled your heads, accessories and your back running within 3 weeks!
