Looks like I might have stumbled into a free Subie. Problem is its a 98 Forester with a snapped timing belt. I want to put a new long block in it but I need to find one first, and on the super cheap. Anyone know of one for sale? If it matters, it's an automatic 98 Forester S.

 

i got a ej257 block and crank from an sti pm me if you are interested

 

Just looking to get this thing on the road, so a long block would hit the spot.

 

no problem, just thought i would throw that out there

 

Edited for me needing more homework

 

A friend of mine has a brand new EJ255 longblock for sale, assembled, just missing the accessories (turbo, intercooler, etc) - Perfect platform to start off with for a swap:

Just looking for a direct bolt in swap, turbo swaps would add time and money to the scenario.
