Gloyale Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Short answer is yes. details depend on excact year/models of car/engines. but generally any subaru engine can be swapped into another subaru with some amount of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay in oregon Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I have the same question, I looked around the site and found some answers but is there a specific cross refrence guide that could be found somewhere? I just bought a 2003 subaru Baja 5-speed I will replace my head gaskets myself eventually but am wanting to find the best doner car for a 2.2 swap I think I can find the right one if I just knew what to look for. I was going to start my own post but I guess i am forum illeterate couldn't find the new posts place. if there was a cross refrence guide it would make a good sticky. I spent an hour searching and had no luck, I thank you guys for shareing all of your knoledge. I will keep searching to figure out if my 2.5 can be made head gasket friendly. it really is a nice engine. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) the 03 ej25 really is not a good candidate for an ej22 swap. an ej22 will swap in, but there are only 2 years that are compatible, 99 - 00. you can swap in another ej25 into your baja. use 00 - 03/4 ej25 long block, (with heads) and use your intake, cam / crank sprockets. this swap is common and easy. is your baja a turbo? that would change things.

jay in oregon Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Mine is not a turbo, if I swap in another ej25 wont I be just having to replace head gaskets again in 100,000 miles, I just done like the idea of bieng in a car on the side of the road with steam billowing out, with the ej2.2 that seems less likely, the 99-00 2.2 swap will work without having computer issues? any 99-00? any best doner car better than another? thank you.
