So i recently bought myself another legacy out of the 2nd gen now into a forth gen YAY! the best looking body style out of the box IMO. but i bought this 06 legacy 2.5 non avcs 5mt car for $250!!! and its in nice shape but i need to find a motor for it. I cant seem to find what engine number these cars came with either i want to say its the ej253 but i dont know.
The main question is would i be able to take a ej251 out of the 01-04 legacy and just swap long blocks and keep all my intake and wiring? i know itll fit but is there anything physically different about where sensors go would i be missing locations for sensors? i can find an ej251 all day for cheap and i can only find motors out of 06 07 cars from junk yards and i dont want to put a $2000 motor in a $250 car LOL.
