My BAJA has that cylinder slapping issue. It is still running perfect after warm up but may have to replace it sooner than normal. Therefore, when I'm searching for a 2.5L engine down the road, which year and modle of subaru engine will drop in our BAJA without extra modification???? Or which engine code will work for our car.
i.e.,... Can I use 2.5L from impreza, forester, .... from 2003-2007 ... etc...

Re: 2.5 Engine that will drop / fit in our BAJA
I dug up this old post that is relevant to my interest, as I have to replace the engine in my 2003 Sport 5-speed.
Can anyone with experience please tell me what other used/salvage engines I need to search for and if they actually fit?
Wikipedia's page about the EJ Engine says the EJ251 fits the following models:
EJ251
Flat four EJ251
SOHC Intake volume is calculated by the use of a MAP sensor, unlike the EJ253 which uses a MAF sensor. Compression ratio is 10.0: 1.
Power ISO: 123 kW (165 hp) @ 5600 RPM
226 N·m (167 ft·lbf) @ 4000 rpm
Usage:
* Impreza 2.5RS, 2.5TS 00-04 (US)
* Impreza Outback Sport 02-04 (US)
* Forester 00-04 (US)
* Legacy 00-04 (US)
* Outback 00-04 (US)
* Baja 03-04 (US)
My engine code is EJ251AWEWL. Can just any E251 from the above models work or is the suffix AWEWL important? Do I have to find a 5-speed?
Please help me if you know. I am dead in the water and searching for Baja parts notoriously turns up few results and even then the information is often incorrect.
Thanks!
