EJ257 Short Block with forged pistons
Ive got an EJ257 short block for sale. I started buying this stuff to do a swap into my outback but things have changed the the swap has been put on hold till next at least.
The block halves, crank, rods, and the stock STi pistons are all lightly used (less than 5000 miles) and am asking $1050 OBO for that. All you need is bearings!
If you want, I can also throw in the BRAND NEW Mahle forged pistons for another $300. They go for around $500+ brand new.
I need to unload this stuff to pay for a move so feel free to make an offer.

Background on the motor. What year/model is it off of and is it 5000 miles on it from the factory or 5000 miles after a rebuild? Would you be willing to part out any of the stuff seperately?

Well the block is apart, and when I got it from Mike he told me there was only 5K miles on the block halves, rods, and crank. The STi pistons are brand new and the forged pistons are brand new in the box they came in.
I dont have all that info, but I can try and track it down for you. I can get you the numbers off the block if that helps.
