98 Outback 2.5 to 2.2 swap Info

[lmdew]

Just finished putting a 95 Impreza 2.2 into a 98 Outback. Both were autos. All worked fine, but the flex plates are different size, by about 1/2" dia. (don't ask me how I fournd this out). You will need to keep flex plate from your Outback and bolt it up to the impreza engine.

 

The Air conditioning mount bracket has smaller mount bolts as well. Keep all the brackets from your Outback.

 

This 98 will be up for sale, as soon as I finish going through it. 98 161K on the car, 121K on the engine. The 2.2's go for ever and no headgasket problems. $4100.
