advice on fitting a 2.5 bottom end

The bottom end has gone on my 93 wrx and I've managed to source a 2.5 bottom end.

I am using m original 2.0l heads. What parts will I need to fit the bottom end?

Which gasket is the best to use?

cheers

You'll need specialist advice from one of the many Subaru specialist on here, API, Zen or Lateral are good starting points. I think the crank will need to be machined also

If it's a complete bottom end the crank shouldn't need to be touched.

Just a caes of bolting heads, manifolds etc onto the new bottom end.

You'll need a full gasket set and preferably a new oil and water pump, probably a good idea to change service item such as belts etc aswell unless they have been done fairly recently.
