mrtools Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi All - I'd like to swap the engine from a 2000 Outback, engine type: EJ251AXAW into a 2005 Outback, which also has an EJ engine type: EJ253ASAFB. I'm guessing that because they're both EJ 2.5 liter engines, that this would work just fine, but would appreciate any input regarding the project. Thanks very much.

mrtools Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Thank you, GD. I failed to mention that the good engine from the 2000 Outback is mated to an auto trans. The 2005 Outback is stick shift. Can you think of any particular incompatibilities regarding the various electrical and emissions plug-ins / connections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 You will have to use the intake manifold from the 2005. All the electrical is on the intake. Depending on configuration you may have to drill and tap the EGR port in the back of the cylinder head. Otherwise the long blocks are virtually identical.
