pirata_manu Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 How close are you to Salt Lake City? There are 3 good you pull and pay yards in town. Drop in a good 95 2.2 from an auto so it has the EGR. www.car-part.com is a good yard search or junkyarddog.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i think that is the address, if not you can put this phrase into the search engine here and find them : "CCR*". or google colorado rebuilders maybe. they have replacement, completely rebuilt engines with warrantys which they will stand behind. now, why do you need a new engine?????
