October 25, 200916 yr I have a 96 legacy outback wagon. rotational bearings (rod or main) are likely fouled thus I think an engine replacement is in order. I understand that low mileage (20 - 50K) used engines are available in the western USA from japan really cheap. does anyone know where I might order a 1996 2.5 liter or comperable motor? does anyone have a link to a motor exchange Biz? I am stranded on I80 in Nevada. I want a motor cheap and fast. please help.
October 25, 200916 yr How close are you to Salt Lake City? There are 3 good you pull and pay yards in town. Drop in a good 95 2.2 from an auto so it has the EGR. www.car-part.com is a good yard search or junkyarddog.com

(i think that is the address, if not you can put this phrase into the search engine here and find them : "CCR*". or google colorado rebuilders maybe. they have replacement, completely rebuilt engines with warrantys which they will stand behind. now, why do you need a new engine?????
