With 250k miles on my current motor in my forester i am in the bussiness of replacing it. I have a 1996 outback 2.2L engine that id like to put in my car but am wondering if it will swap into my car correctly and if it bolts up and functions properly in my forester and what would need to be done if it does not

Need the 2005 heads and intake, you could use the 2.2L short block though it is not ideal
