[swap 1998 2.2 engine into 1998 outback]

Thanks very much for the helpful information and photo! The Outback owner has not gotten back to me. I hope I can get that shell, another shell or a decent used Subaru i can afford.

[swap 1998 2.2 engine into 1998 outback]

i love my 1998 Subaru Legacy L Wagon which needs major body work after an accident. I have found an 1998 Outback for $800 (2.5L engine) with a blown head gasket. Is the 2.2 swap to an Outback doable? (I am not a mechanic and on a really tight budget. Just need to either keep my car on the road or stay in a comparable Subaru. The Legacy wagon was the best car I have had.)

 

Also what is a ball park figure for installing an engine into a car ?

 

thanks!
