Forester block
 
Are the Forester and BRZ FA20 short blocks the same and/or interchangeable?

i don't see y not. from what i gather the only difference is internals and fuel injection

Did you get daylight opening in your block?

I believe someone on here actually had both blocks and said they are identical except for the starter location, or the forester lacking a starter.

The top end of a FA20 will bolt directly to a FB25.

Fizz 02-17-2014 06:52 AM
Would the fb25 be a direct fit in the frs?

Thanks guys

And, no, I didn't do anything to my engine! haha

I found a forester FA20 short block for $225 with a bad bearing that I am going to pick up and build :party0030:

That's a good deal...forged build?

wow! I wish I could find something like that. That is a no brainer to pick up for that kind of money.

it won't work due to starter loction on the block, and the pistons don't work with our spray pattern..

so if you want a new crank and rods ... thats about all u can use..

Gotta rain on my parade! Well, maybe I'll still pick it up just to resell :iono:

Is the starter position so different that it won't fit int th car? If he is planning on building anyways it won't matter if the pistons are different.

That is such a ridiculous price. Bad bearing fixes for the win!
