My bad!! Things got a little hectic around here for a while but it’s all good now.
That engine swap was pretty dang easy and I would totally do it again. I still have the old engine block sitting on my work bench. LOL
My son if now trying to get me to buy a broke Subaru with black leather interior so he can swap the interior out and have nice leather seats. It would be a fun project for him and he found one for $300 but it sold quick.
I've been considering a project like this for a while. Outbacks with blown head gaskets can be found out here by the dozen for $500.
Oh yeah!! That 2.5l engine is a little on the spendy side compared to other Subi engines. About $2,000. Buying this car, engine swapping it, new clutch and flywheel, head gaskets, a few other engine parts, registering it and everything I was about $4,000 into it. That ain’t bad and that car is super clean!!
I’m thinking about doing a VW TDI next. Found a 2013 wagon with a blown engine for $1,500. Perfect condition car. It sold instantly! You snooze you lose. LOL
