Hello everyone! First time post!
I recently bought a 2007 forester that has a bad engine (spun bearing, evidence by hard to turn over and metal in oil) i was gonna drop a 2.0 JDM engine in it and move on my way. i found out quickly that the 2006/07 they changed the heads with variable cams, and JDM or used engines start at 1500 bucks! ! have a good 2000 SOHC non turbo forester short block sitting on the shelf, can i bolt the 2007 heads and manifold on and be on my way? if not, what year short blocks will work? Thanks! Ian
