So, when building an EJ22T, can a crank from a 2.5 fit? If so, what machining has to be done? What rods do you have to use?
Thanks!

Well, since I usually only build American V8's, I thought I would ask. I don't understand what "Phase 1" is, or why nobody has a book showing parts interchange. Actually, with as many V8 engine building books that sell, I'm really suprised that no one has any book showing how to build a Subaru engine. Or is there a book? I would definitely buy it!
Phase I applies to the '96-99 DOHC 2.5 used in the Outback, GT and LSi,and '98 Forester and Impreza RS; Phase II is the SOHC 2.5 used on '99+ Forester/Impreza and '00+ Outback+.

The ONLY reason you would use a 2.5 crankshaft is if you are STROKING your motor. Then you need different pistons.
ARE you stroking it?

The crank is not billet, you are using the wrong terminology. It is forged.
