In the late 80s subaru decided to get serious about motorsports, they put together a special group to start going after some records by building special edition cars. One such car they built was a Subaru Legacy RS designed for a high speed endurance record, they claimed the world record, averaging 138mph for 18.5 days, covering 100,000km. Homologation rules meant they had to build 500 production cars (although I think they actually built closer to 800)
The group that made this car eventually became STI, and this is a motor out of one of those cars.
Closed deck 2.0L with oil squirters, massively hand ported heads, hydraulic valve lifters, sodium filled exhaust valves, forged pistons.
I bought the motor in pieces, had it machined and balanced, put in ARP headstuds (which had to be ground down to clear the cams), and it's sat in the corner of my parts room for the past 3 years.
Closed deck block
Signed crankshaft
Forged pistons
The intake manifold isn't available but it's just a standard EJ20G manifold.

I paid a lot for this motor, and I've put quite a bit into it. I'm not interested in lowball offers at all. This is a piece of subaru history. Don't insult it.
Asking $2500
I have the rs-ra rear garnish for this too, I'll consider including that.
glws, at least you're getting a bunch of free bumps out of it.
