97 Legacy L Auto AWD

[Hachiroku $B%O%A%m%/(B]

What's the difference from '95? I have a BHG, and found a '95 with rotted
unibody.

My '97 is a 2.2 Auto, the '95 is a 2.2 5-speed. A lot of looking for
engines seems to reveal the '97 as having a very narrow range of matching
engines and transmissions.

What would be the difficulty in the swap?

My first thought is whether the '95 is OBDII.

Are you also trying to get the transmission swapped in?

maybe I don't understand exactly what you're trying to do.

Yeah, I want to pull the '97 motor and tranny and swap in the '95 motor
and 5-speed (97 is Auto).

When I look up replcement motors there is a cut-off at '97, and then again
at '98 or '99. It seems this engine is particular to this year and '98.

In addition to anyone commenting here, you should consider asking over
at www.ultimatesubaru.org . I know there has been a lot of folks there
with 'swap' experience in the past.

good luck!

Both engines should be OBD-II. Thinking the 95 will have dual exhaust
port heads whereas the 97 will not. just can't swap the exhaust
manifold.
