December 14, 20196 yr Looking for a bare block from a standard 2.5l EJ257 with cylinder bores at 99.5mm, dont need a complete short engine just the block itself What have you got?? Cheers Jay
December 14, 20196 yr Author Now sorted - Pole Position at Willenhall (quite local to me) had one on the shelf

Other thing is to consider what Head studs you go with. right grade 11mm ARP's will prob be sufficient unless your planning to go 550+ (whats in mine)

December 18, 20196 yr Author Not looking for a specific power figure but want the foundation to be solid for whatever so the block will not be a restrictive component, internals can be switched out as appropriate but the aim is rev to an 8.6k redline without falling apart. It will be tracked as well

It will be tracked as well tbh i would seriously consider shelving the 2.5 and going the 2.33 proper closed deck route then. Sounds like its gonna get a pretty hard life so even closed decked the 2,5 still has relatively thin walls on the bores
December 23, 20196 yr Author For what I need at this point - Daily for the Missus and a few track days, the 2.5 will be fine, retaining the extra torque will be easier to live with. Ill save the EJ22 for the a more focused tool, 700+ capability maybe 😁
