3Pin Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Can I just transplant a 2001 2.5 outback engine into a 2005 2.5 outback or use 2001 heads on the 2005 block? 2005 has a good block ,but bad heads. 2001 had good heads and block, but needs head gasket job and is a rusting body.

3Pin Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 I think I can just move the 2001 complete with heads over and install the 2005 intake it appears. I think I need to tap an EGR too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Pin Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 I hate to ask and answer my own question. Can anyone confirm that I can take my 01 engine and heads and swap intakes and pretty much call it a day other than egr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocei77 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Yes you can swap in this manner. Also swap the crank gear and cam sprocket.from the 2005. O. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Pin Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 curious, I just pulled a bad 2008 2.5 out of an impreza. Could I use that crank and cam sprocket instead so to keep the 2005 mostly intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
