This engine is a one-off. Low sales and not just the engine but a lot of parts will be expensive.
That's why I hope they keep selling 100k+ per years. Hell I hope it becomes the next EG civic where parts are dirt cheap.

The starter in the EJ255 in my old OBXT and the starter in my BRZ are in roughly the same place. Besides, the starter on our cars is bolted to the transmission. No block change needed.
The above italicized text is wrong. I was cleaning my engine bay earlier this week and saw that the starter is on the exact OPPOSITE side where it would be on an EJ motor.
An engine block is just the block; no pistons, no heads, not even a crank. Just the block. The engine isn't a one off.
