The IAG 950 Short Block is the ultimate "weekend racer" block. Built to withstand up to 950 BHP, this is our strongest "Street" short block offering. The IAG 950 short block features +2mm IAG Spec H-Beam forged connecting rods, IAG-Spec JE Pistons with electroless nickel plated coating with H13 tool steel wrist pins, and our venerable "Fire-Lock™" head gasket system for 14mm head studs. Each IAG 950 short block is hand assembled using ACL or King rod and main bearings. This combination of parts makes the IAG 950 the perfect block for drag or road racing. The IAG 950 Short Block starts with brand new Subaru 2.5L engine case halves. Our machinists machine the assembled case halves in our Haas VF-4SS CNC mill to accept the IAG Closed Deck inserts, transforming the block into a solid deck. Next, a deck pair of deck plates are attached and the short block is bored and honed to 99.75mm in our in-house Sunnen SV-30 computer controlled cylinder hone. IAG's in-house honing process allows us to set custom piston to wall clearances to ensure quiet operation and reduced oil consumption. The Haas mill also cuts a groove at the top of each cylinder to accept the Fire-Lock™ head gasket rings and drills each head bolt hole for 14mm head studs. The modified case halves are then assembled using a new 2017+ Subaru 2.5L nitride treated STI crankshaft and IAG-Spec Tuff H-Beam connecting rods with ARP rod bolts. IAG Short blocks feature ACL or King Race rod and main bearings. Finally, the case halves are sealed with new OEM main/case bolts and sealant.
