greg donovan Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Currently have a 96 2.2 Impreza with poor bottom end and a 01 2.2 also from Impreza with poor heads. The timing belt let go. Got it for free. Can I replace my 96 short block with the 01 short block? Using the 96 heads, intake, exhaust and everything that goes with it.

idosubaru Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Yes. There’s one head and block combo that needs thicker headgaskets or the pistons and valves will touch but I think that happens with the earlier 96-98 EJ25 blocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
