SUBARU3 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 2000 legacy SOHC and a 1999 Forester SOHC. What would be the difference, if any and how would one deal with those differences? (Putting the 2000 engine in a 1999 Forester). Thanks Much! Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 4 things to compare: Left cam gear - 2 or 7 sensor pickups? Crank sprocket - 6 or 23 teeth? EGR on right head or not? PCV tube - threaded or press on? If the cam and crank sprockets don't match, the car won't start...period. However, you can swap them with no problem. The other two must match also, but not a swap situation. They either have to be correct or not. Other than that, the block and heads are identical.

idosubaru Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'd go for it, i think that will be a straight forward swap for you. I'd try to retain the intake manifold to the car. Just swap long blocks underneath. Worst case scenario all you'll have to do is swap the cam sprockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
