I need to rebuild the motor from my 96 Legacy GT EJ25 DOHC. I can get a Short block with some form of damage to the end of the crank for about $200. Problem is that it is for an 03-05 Forester, 03-04 Impreza, or 02-04 Legacy/Outback which are SOHC. What are the odds this would work in my car with the use of my heads and intake and exhaust? Anybody have any idea?

it should work but how are you planning to fix the crank end? if you need a DOHC shortblock, i have one in my garage i just removed from a 97 Legacy GT. 110,000 miles on it. yours for $150 picked up. thanks

I think you might have a clearance problem . The pistons are different on the DOHC to the SOHC - recess and valve relief
