Default Hence requiring different castings. What would make them the same?

Different castings and different bores. I fail to see any similarity.

Default if you take an s4 and boar it to a 3.0 is it the same block?

yes. it is just board over.

it uses, same mounts, same tranny hook up, same exhaust system, same intercooler piping, same everything!!! how would it use the same everything if it was a different block? obviously its the same size so its weaker because the cylinder walls are thinner.

Default Yes, 2.0L and 2.5L are are from a different casting, it's not like Subaru just makes the 2.0L block

and then machines it down to 2.5L.

Read Mitsu might bring EVO MR with 6-speed & adjust center diff + more power as an STi fight
