I have a 2013 Forester 2.5 non turbo FB25 engine. I just bought this project, the last owner ran it low on oil and spun all the rod bearings. I would be ok with replacing rods with a salvaged set ,but I cant find any. I did find a complete engine from 2014 Forester that runs. It has the 6th digit A just like my car does. Will this engine work just bolting in or can I swap some components from my original to the 2014 and make this work? and my last question will the transmission bolt up? I am new to the Subaru world so any help will be appreciated.

Thank you, Subaru Newbie!
 
I am a newbie, as well. In searching for an engine for my neice's 2014 Forester, the salvage guys told me that to swap in an engine, it must be from a vehicle with the same transmission. Manual to Manual, or CVT to CVT is ok, but not manual to CVT. FYI. I'm not sure of difference in the year models.
