mudko3 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 In the process of getting my 05 outback xt running. I believe I have an ej255 , my friend has an ej257 from a 2014 sti that just needs pistions. I've heard the shortblock would swap right over with no issues. Anyone confirm this?
Leviman Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Yep! EJ257 is a bolt in swap. Split your case though, have the crank polished, put in new bearings and have the case either bored over to 99.75 or honed. You can also use this opportunity to upgrade to forged pistons. I'm building a forged piston shortblock right now that's getting Mahle 4032 99.75 pistons.
mudko3 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 Thank you a bunch for confirming . Engine is finally out today
