Add to your "$3500" ej255:
labor to remove & strip old motor,
Cost to recondition the heads,
New timing belt idlers & tensioner
New oil pump
Assemble new long motor
New clutch
Reinstall engine
Verso tune ($1200??)
And then it still won't be as 'tough' or reliable as a 207.
Just ask Stubaru.
A new 207 short motor is $2600 & inherently a stronger motor for the money.
