WillG Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Hi all, I have a 2003 H6 Outback Estate with a head gasket/crack issue and a 2002 similar car MOT failure with good engine. The VIN numbers are slightly different - perhaps slight upgrades - my question is will the older engine fit the later car? If so is the best option just the power unit or engine/gearbox as 1 unit. Thanks for any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 They both BH generation outbacks so should be easy swap . Just look for any visual component differences and swap components/ sensors/wiring harness if find some differences . Do engine only assuming your transmission in good working order . It fairly easy process pulling engine on these, work on donor car first and learn from that . Few stubborn bolts and actually getting engine moving from transmission is the usual hang ups .
