Will a 99 2.5 DOHC work in a 2002 legacy with the same motor?  Not sure if there are electronic or trans issues.  I'm assuming the 2002 is non-EGR.

 

Thanks!

No, it will not work. Wire harness and electronics are different.

what he said.

 

but the block would work with the 02 heads and intake.

If that is a late '99 with an SOHC motor it might work, but the 2002 didn't come with a 2.5L DOHC that I've ever known of (The H6 Engines are DOHC).

 

'99 was the last year for the EJ25D DOHC engine in the USDM and '00 was the first year for the EJ251 in the USDM for the Legacy.

 

Now, if your in a different country that could be different because the EJ251 was introduced up to two years earlier in other countries.
