haha, just noticed your message....there's got to be a way to set up email notification for messages.......



if you feel like tearing the motor apart, you could replace just the shortblock with an OBD I one which would be much more common. But the cam sensor is different from OBD I to OBD II, so if you don't want to swap heads around, you'll need to get an OBD II one.

also, '97+ are interference motors, so if you wind up with one of those, keep that tbelt in good shape! also, some electrical changes in '99, so anything from then on won't be exactly plug and play, but could be made to work.


unfortunately, IMHO the best subaru motor made ever (tried and true phase I block, but with solid lifters, better flowing heads, better ECU, but still non-interference) was only made for one year, and you got it.....good news is Impreza and Legacy models are the same for those years, so it can come from either one.



Hope that helps!
