I am savvy turnin wrench's but I am not super familiar with Subarus.So here's where I'm at, I bought a good used EJ25 to swap the EJ25 in the Mrs's Outback. Now that I have the rented engine hoist in the garage, long block to swap in on the garage floor ready to swap in, I start stripping down the motor in the car to pull and then realize the heads are different... manifold looks to be different, but to my eye everything else looks the same.So here is the existing motor/head...https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...4&l=4bf238d1bchttps://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...0&l=73830742ffHere is what I "planned" to swap in...https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...3&l=aec137cf78https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...0&l=55cb9b6633Considering there is obviously a difference, what are my options?

KEGMotorsports Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 I think I found the difference, one SOHC, the other DOHC?? Can they be swapped? or just sell the DOHC and do the heads on the SOHC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Not really an easy swap. Find another Ej251 block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
