Used Subaru engines for sale?

Hello,

can you all recommend a good person/company for used Subaru engines?

No actual upgrades / builds, just the stock engines.

With the advent of local enthusiasts and polish workers, I think taking a worn out 2003 Legacy and convert it to a GT or something would make financial sense over here.

That will be a tough task ask the ECU and wiring will be completely different

How's the wiring different? As in completely, completely different? Do I actually have to stretch up new wiring?

Maybe I would be better off importing a donor car? I don't have to pay tax for parts cars.

Off the top of my head I know the 2003 engine will be OBII and require the ECU among other stuff. I can't speak for the actual wiring I just know of the differences. Not saying it can't be done but you will become very familiar with wiring diagrams. IF it can be done.

Sensors among other things I imagine, I haven't done it so I can't say.
