I do in fact have a 2.0L shortblock just sitting in a box in my garage. But it's got a weird history:
Steve on this board who works at Subaru hooked up the block from their service dept. 'cause it came out of a car under warranty. The guy was complaining about the motor and somehow got them to cover the shortblock replacement even though nothing seemed wrong with the car. When the shortblock came out, they confirmed that nothing looked wrong, so the service dept. hung on to the block for like 6 months or whatever waiting for Subaru of America to inspect it. SOA never bothered and just let the dudes warranty claim pass. So Steve passed the block along to me because I lost one at a Sacramento area shop (long ass story). But I ended up not needing it, and I never bothered to take a close look at it to see what condition it's in.
MPREZIV has dibs on the block for a WRX swap he was thinking about into his RS, but if he passes on it, I've got no problem passing the block along for cheap, as I'm not planning on using it, but like I said I can't guarantee the condition of the block other than to say I was told it was in good shape when I got it like 2 years ago.
