so heres my story..
after finding a nice looking v5 sti on trademe i organised to go pick it up
hired a trailer and drove 9 hours (auckland to welly) on arrival all looked
as good as a parted car could so bought it trailered her back to auckland and
after a week or so of tinkering i discovered that it had late model gt heads on
shim over bucket (ew) so there was my first problem it wasnt even sti .
so my next problem came in the form of a famous big end bearing knock
even more joys for this nice cheap and easy fix. so out the motor came and out
came the money in my wallet .
i purchased a V7 sti shortblock off of gotasuby v6 sti heads new steel gaskets new headbolts bloody new everything and the sent off to get the heads skimmed .
received my shortblock last tuesday and built her up hard and fast lol had the motor in on thursday running friday .
so heres some pix
BIG THANKS to Gotasuby , and Ryan for machining my heads and everyone on here that help answer all my questions and querys you guys are awsome

yer its one i bought off gotasuby but the pump i have is recently replaced so i will just use it thanx guysyes, but WHY are you fitting an old pump to a new engine?
Subaru now sell shortblock kits with new pump and oil cooler - AND MUST be fitted for warranty purpose's

its not a "new" engine . not brand new anyways
-

put wheels back on it and went to roll it out of garage nicely now its stuck facing the wrong way down my drive haha
-
omg is that a bear in my bed ..... NOPE , hahah love it

no i sourced one from a wreckers it had 50-60 thousand kz it went really well yes i used the v3sti heads because the car i rebuilt already had a full v3 sti motor with a fried piston so it was just what was available . i loved how it ran it was a very nice motor
-
depends on the heads and block your using (for size) steel ones tho
-
im pretty sure exhausts are all the same
-
ive heard the v4sti heads are the best option for a strong build (if ur working with 1-4 bits)
