awesome man, thanks for that information. But Is there a way that i can tell the difference by looking at the VIN, well i know there is just let me know what that difference is. would there be a badge on the top of the engine block just like we have with some SVX's that says 2.5L or 2.2L??? or another note somewhere that states it has a 2.5L engine or a 2.2L engine?

A totally different question all together, how easy or hard would it be to drop a EJ33 into a outback or something of that sort wouldn't have to be the outback model but somethign of that idea. When my old SVX's tranny blew i was thinking about tearing out the engine and droppping it in a legacy or outback. Some where i read that someone else did it with not much modification. think they of course had to adjust engine mounting brackets and possible move the radiatior up an inch or so. I'll probably just search it tomorrow but if you know and can tell me that would be awesome.
