We got a 2006 LLBean outback with a blown EZ30 (Looks like the block is cracked) I sourced a good used one and am about to start pulling the bad one. I've done maybe half a dozen swaps on EJ motors and it was all basically the same just different sizes.

 

Anything of note about swapping an EZ30? or am I doing the same stuff with a bigger motor?

Change the spark plugs/valve cover gaskets while the engine is out. A horrible job once the engine is installed. 

Thanks for the tip. I think I answered the rest of my own questions. Since I was done with work early and my wife decided to go shopping and take the baby with her, I started tearing into things under the hood. Has some differences in the design but the process has all been the same as pulling an EJ motor. Hardest part was disconnecting the wiring harnesses off of the radiator. Skinned a knuckle when it came loose.
