Question time?

[sandy_gray]

Hi i have 2 questions i am building a spare 2.0 for my scoob so that i can put it back to what it was before it melted for selling on purposes as i wont be keeping the new engine in the car if i sell it. Anyhoo i just phoned my local breakers yard to see if they had a spare engine and they do BUT its from an R reg  wrx import and as my current engine is 2002 model will all my parts from my 2002 fit this block eg heads exhaust and things and finally what cars did the close deck block come in?[*-)]

Closed deck blocks only come from sti or very early wrxs which were used for homologation purposes you can spot them from the hatching on the block, the r plate may be version 4 which i think is a phase1.5 engine there is a difference in gearbox coupling also early models only have 4 bolts heads and cams are different but look the same i would do plenty of research before buying cause im no expert.
