Engine Swap

How are these prices http://www.finelineimports.net/subaru_usedengines.htm? I want to get a new engine to drop in my newly aquired RS.

I've still got my 2.0 block. The 2.0 heads are on the car, but should be coming off sometime. Same for the exhaust manifold.

Let me know if you're interested. The block would be a great candidate for a larger stroking nitrided crank and conrods.

I am a man of deeds not words.

Stroke Me, Stroke Me
Could be a winner boy you move mighty well
Stroke Me, Stroke Me, Stroke Me, Stroke Me
You got your number down, Stroke Me, Stroke Me
Say you're a winner but babe, you're just a sinner now
Put your left foot out, keep it all in place
Work your way right into my face
First you try to bet me, you make my backbone slide
When you find you've bled me, slip on by, and

Stroke Me, Stroke Me

I hope you talked to ds baruuuu real good I think this kind of swap is not as easy as everybody thinks. From what I've seen it ins't just a drop in swap...There is a big difference in these model years when it comes to this. But keep us informed because I plan on doing one of these when I get somewhere and have a garage.

mechanicly everything is easy as pie its true that subaru's are like legos as i have an 04wrx motor,trans,crossmember,frontsway,steeringrack and rear end everything boltes up.
after that its too the fun part(wiring) if you can read schematic its not that hard just time consuming untaping both harness's merging them and taping back up(the engine and body harness are taped together) here are some pics i posted to show you what to look forward to

Alright, after looking at the pics, Kiernna, you've got the wiring. I'll take the mechanical.

Nah, I knew this could be a bear. I'm looking forward to the learning because there is a RallyX in Illinois this weekend that I have to miss out on. I need an L or an RS! ...with turbo.
