| As gav says all the heads fit on all the engines, the older enines have a different crank tho and apparantly are not as good. I have fitted my 2003 blob eye WRX heads to a 2.5 2007 STi Bottom end  | |

Closed deck block from 92 wrx. I take back my comment! I was thinking of internals not the Block. As per normal Mr G is correct | |

down too cost as per the norm lol the v7-8 sti is well known for having the strongest " standard " internals.. but the early 93 blocks were the strongest ie= fully closed deck block. obvously aftermarket forged internals is the way forward for over 500bhp but it gets very very expensive... | |
