I want to put a older Hi-Low 5 speed tranny out of a GL into a 95 or newer Legacy or Outback subee with the 2.2 motor. What adapter plate would I need and what else is involved to do so?

This is one good option for you. There are many more. I have used this kit for almost 5 years now, not one problem.

I know this will work to put a EJ motor into a EA body but not sure it it would work the other way around or what else is involved this axles and drivelines, tranny mounts, and such.

you will still use the ea to ej adaptor plate . much more is involed and i dont know what that os hah im sure if you search the forum you will find it though . check out anderson design and fab in the products for sale section . or message me . we sell really nice adaptor plate for pretty cheap

In addition to adapter and redrilled flywheel you will need the following

 

custom length driveline (front section 2" longer.....rumor that 2000-04 Legacy shaft works)

 

Customized front trans crossmember (drilled to accept EA trans mounts)

 

Customized shift linkage.....really just retrofitting EA D/R shifter itno place.

 

Axles.........One of 2 options........

 

1) run 23 spline inner, FWD, MT 93-94 Impreza axles......only EJ axles to come with a 23 spline inner.

 

2) open trans.....install a set of 25 spline stubs into the EA D/R......then run pretty much any EJ front axles (I like OE 98-03 Forrester axles)
