October 28, 201411 yr i'm thinking it should be a straight shot from a legacy wagon to an outback wagon. let me know if there are any surprises i should be aware of thanks g
October 28, 201411 yr Don't know if it bothers you or not, but be aware that a '97 2.2 is an interference engine.
October 28, 201411 yr Author Don't know if it bothers you or not, but be aware that a '97 2.2 is an interference engine. getting a decent deal on the car w/ the donor engine.
October 28, 201411 yr Author Use the search feature with "swap" and you'll find all you need to know. O. i'll try that
October 28, 201411 yr Hello, I'm new to Subarus. I just bought a '95 impreza wagon/hatchback. I saw that a '97 is interference engine. Does that cover the '95 2.2?? thx didn't mean to jump on here. I'm just reading all I can.
October 28, 201411 yr to the original poster - Ej22 is single port exhaust so carry the exhaust manifold over with the engine. use EJ25 flexplate (if automatic) on EJ22 engine. the EJ25 will be an EGR equipped engine. if the 1997 isn't EGR it'll have a check engine light due to that. but it will still plug and play and run great anyway. install a metal separator plate and seal it on the EJ22. install a new timing component kit - belt, pulleys, tensioner - they're like $100 for Gates kits on amazon - great deal.

I'm just reading all I can. no - 1995's are non-interference. EJ22's are non-inteference up until 1996 Interference 1997 and up.
October 28, 201411 yr Welcome, scdrtramp! The wonderful EJ22 engine was non-interference from its introduction in '89/'90 through the '96 model year. It became interference with the '97s. So you're okay with your '95!
October 28, 201411 yr Hey, im doing the same thing! Albeit on a much slower timescale... Just make sure both engines have EGR or both engines dont have EGR. Otherwise your exhaust manifold will be the only difference. Use the flywheel from the 2.5
October 29, 201411 yr Author thanks.....will be updating this as i clear out some other projects and find the right motor. i have a 95 2.2 that i was planning to use but the car is nice so i'm keeping it together. did not get that 97 2.2 as yet
