I’m almost ready to take the plunge and put a rebuilt ej22 into my 98 Outback. I’ve read many posts about emissions issues in various states. None of them were from Washington State. Has anyone from Washington State made the transplant AND passed the states emission test?

I have a 98 Subaru outback that needs its third hg at 175,000 mi. I want to replace the engine with the more reliable ej22. My complete engine # is ej25daxdyl, not sure what all the extra letters mean. So does an ej22 drop right in and bolt right up and does the wiring harness plug right in, or are there some modifications that are necessary? Will my computer recognize the ej22 sensors? Also, with the Japanese engines is there an issue of ‘left hand drive’ vs. US ‘right hand drive’? How hard is it to find a decent used engine? Like better than 50%?
