I actually like the 3rd gen outback lights and plan to put some on my legacy. Same procedure as discussed above?

Well it sounds like a job that is more than possible. Regardless of the few common problems I'm convinced it's the way to go. I'll start a new post when the project begins but it may have to wait till spring as he is considering keeping the car through the winter.

Also forgot to mention because it seems to come up a lot. Based off info I've found ez30 weighs less than ej251 so suspension and brakes aren't a concern(even though brakes are already drilled and slotted). Weights are 240 and 264 dry respectively.

Thanks to all for the help and discussions on the topic. I would like to see info on CEL stuff but it isn't mandatory because I don't deal with emissions in my area. Also I hear it could be a problem with cruise control. I thought it worth clarifying too that the donor is an 02.

Thanks for the info. His is the vdc so it does have climate control. Your suggesting taking it as well?

Thanks again for the info. I've heard from most subarus are pretty swappable but you've put things in perspective. I still want more info on the subject if anyone has any experience with this swap but as far as the auto trans is concerned I would rather put an ej back into it.

Thank you for the thorough posting in such a timely manner. I am purchasing his entire car so harness and stuff shouldn't be a problem. I am in America where they didn't offer 3.0 manual and another thread I found suggests that there will be engine codes considering the manual transmission application. Can you confirm or deny?

I have an 02 outback limited with an ej25 and manual transmission. Recently the motor blew in it and the car is in really nice shape so I am for sure going to replace it. I did the clutch recently so I am familiar with getting the motor in and out of the car. What I would like to know is what it would take to put the ez30 into it. A friend of mine is selling one for reasonable money and I also have a 03 legacy that could benefit from a parts car. So if I have a complete car to steal from what does the job entail? Manual trans is staying in the outback.
