When I had my 2002 2.5rs, I was planning to swap to a EJ20 also. But after thinking about it, I decided to sell my RS and pick up a WRX instead. It's less of a headache to you and in some cases, it will save you money.I believe selling my RS and picking up a WRX, was one of the best decisions i've ever made

I Was Planning On Buying The Wagon For The Motor Only. But I Dont Have The Funds To Install!! Does Anybody Have The Proper Equipment For The Swap And The Time? I Have No Knowledge What So Ever To Do A Swap. So If Some Body Can Do It For Me Ill Pay Them And Buy Them Beer And Food. Also If It Can Be Done In A Weekend That Would Be Really Nice. Well Guys Let Me Know If This Is Possible. Give Me A Price To Install. If I Can Get Somebody To Do It For Me Then I Will Buy The Wagon.

I am sure if you ask on here you will get plenty of help. If I still lived there I'd help in a heart beat. If you can get the car now get it and wait until you can get enough help. It'd be a good learning experience for those who have never done a engine swap and having a donor car with everything you'll need really helps... Hey Dave does he also need the cross member from the wagon???
