Heads and all… In reality money better spent elsewhere for this type of build. After all this work his limiting factor will be the transaxle, even with the RA’s. Heads are getting GSC cams/springs. I’ll do some mild port work to flow match everything. Car has to be up and running for tuning in little time here, to be ready for WGI on the 14th. ---

Not sure what’s considered “stock” these days. Bigger turbo, bigger injectors, DP, exhaust, built tranny, misc bolt-ons, ~300WHP. but yeah, stock :lol ---

Also ordered: ARP head studs Moroso high volume aluminum oil pan OEM stuff For Sale soon: Built EJ255/7 bottom end. I say /7 because the 05-06 LGT has part number of EJ255 but is 100% a EJ257 (STi) block. ---

Well, I went to Adam’s today to drop the Cosworth off. Upon looking at my stock pistons, all I can say is FFUUUUUUUUUUUU!! ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/LGT/Piston.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/LGT/Piston.jpg) And the goodness: ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/LGT/Motor.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/LGT/Motor.jpg) The new motor finally got to my mother’s door at 9:30pm Friday night, after waiting over 10 hours from UPS. Updating original post with new mod list. ---

This new block will last 5x longer than a stock Subaru block. So that’s like 100k trouble free miles now. Good to go. ---

As of yesterday around 2pm, the car has been sold. It was a bit of a sad day as I watched it go off with the new owner, who lives in CT. I now have an all-German lineup. ---
