Yeh it was already pulled out .. and he couldn't figure out what engine specifically it was but i checked it and researched and its an ej20e sohc... ffigured that out from vin and engine codes.. (then verified with pics of other ej20e engines cuz i know it couldve already been swapped out) ... i did notice a missing coil pack in the pics so Im gonna hit him up about what else is missing.. most of everything is there though... and in good but dirty condition... thanks for all the input and info it helped heaps... will deaf keep this updated cuz it was way hard to find info on..... also on a side note... here we have e85 .. 91..93..95...98.... depends on what service stations you use

also donor engine and gearbox is already out of the car..

Yeh Im going to sell what i don't need so i can do the block swap then.... makes for more parts to sell as well... and ill stay away from awd was only thinkin about it.... btw i found out... its an ej20e sohc
-
yeah that's what I intended for the future I just dont have the money for new parts (for swapping heads and such) only doing it for a cheap repair atm, given that i have all the parts from both cars. are the transmissions different for an AWD? like how does it work? mine being fwd at the moment, and the ej20 being AWD ...can you just use the gearbox without converting mine to awd or would i need to use the old gear box? ... i suppose a simpler way of putting that question would be whats the difference between a fwd and awd impreza... mechanically... is it just a lack of rear drivetrain? or?
-
the 18 is sohc but Im not sure about the ej20 til i pick it up owner couldn't tell me... anythings possible to achieve its just weather its cost effective... also i was planning on doing that eventually but don't have the money atm... was hoping it would be a fairly simple swap given i have everything from the other suby as well...
-
if there's an existing thread with this swap please refer me i can't find one

bought a write off 96 model .. suby with a working ej20 Na engine from and 5spd manual transmission and awd drivetrain ... and I already have a 94 gx impreza with an ej18 5spd fwd with a blown water pump and a really bad knock in the block from overheating due to blown water pump.... given that i paid $90au for the entire wreck i figure i might as well do the swap to the 2 litre...instead of a rebuild(to fix the knock which is most likely rod end bearings) .. so would swapping the engine be fairly straight forward?
-
Hadn't thought of anything like that yet.. how much is the ej22 cost wise? Its in a '94 gx impreza atm.. I have had a look around and people haven't rly done anything with the 18 heads ? Maybe there's a reason for it? ... would the swap be simple from an ej18 to to the 22?

Im trying to compile a list of pros and cons for my EJ18 FWD 5spd manual so i can figure out what to do with it.. after a bunch of research on here and such ive realised its economic.. and a somewhat uncommon combination, but thats it really. anyone else got any? Pros: Economic Cons:
