late 90s EJ25DOHC block with EJ25SOHC heads?


Recommended Posts

Can i put the EJ25 SOHC heads on a EJ25 DOHC block? Its to go into an 01 forrester. I have the stock intake manifold and all goodies. Just looking to avoid buying a 30K jap motor for $2500 when i can get a block for $250. Any info appreciated :banana:

Phase I pistons have a different notching setup, and come "proud" out of the block. You will have tgo swap in the Phase II pistons or the valves will hit. Actually, with the thinner Phase II HGs the pistons may contact the head.

 

I know because I literally did this swap this week.
