Easy way to check. Look at the bolt holes around where the inlet manifold bolts onto both heads. If they are in a straight line (4 of them) then is is a 1992-1998 engine. If the inner 2 bolts are offset in the middle of the pattern then it is a 99-> Onwards engine.
Sweeeeeeeeeeet Dave dude
Good paint that 'un. Wickid innit mate
After loads of work the STI8 is nearly complete! Wahooooooooooooo! Looking good. Bumper took an age to trip up to fit the FMIC but i'm well pleased.

The 2.5 Short Block comes complete with pistons, rods and crank just bolt your heads and ancillaries on
£500 upwards approx on labour costs. Don't go mad with a 2.5 just go for a realistic 300/300 power wise. The car will be stonkingly quick anyway.
<< Any idea on cost of the 2.5? >>
2.5 Block Complete - £1450 Approx
Head Set - £150 Approx
Uprated Clutch - £350 Approx
ECUTEK Remap - £550 Approx
Give or take a few things. That would get you running with expansion later on for intercoolers/turbos etc. etc.
Done a few basic 2.5 Conversions on classic WRX's quite happily.
