pirata_manu Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) I have a 96 legacy outback wagon. rotational bearings (rod or main) are likely fouled thus I think an engine replacement is in order. I understand that low mileage (20 - 50K) used engines are available in the western USA from japan really cheap. does anyone know where I might order a 1996 2.5 liter or comperable motor? does anyone have a link to a motor exchange Biz? I am stranded on I80 in Nevada. I want a motor cheap and fast. please help. :-\ Edited October 25, 2009 by pirata_manu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 check junk yards and buy one from the closest you can find. i wouldn't worry with low mileage JDM stuff, they're just as prone to head gasket and bearing issues as anything locally, i wouldn't pay premium for them. i'll ship you one for $1,500.

subaru360 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I have a 96 2.5 engine. It runs and sounds fine has 170K miles. Looks like it has the newest head gaskets in it, although I didn't install them. I want $700, with shipping, it would likely be around $1100. I could ship tuesday if paid today or tomorrow.

3Pin Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 You are a good candidate for a 1995 2.2 transplant. Slips right in. Look it up in the forum. Lots of information on the swap. They are less money and plenty available. A better engine many say. I have done a couple and they have gone well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
