What kind of engine does an outback Impreza Sport have?
Another example: There’s a 2003 Outback Impreza Sport that I found. Blown engine beyond repair. Manual transmission again. Can I only take from 2003, or would other years work too?

Can a SOHC engine fit a DOHC engine?
Any of those engines will fit and bolt up, but engine management becomes the real concern, ie MAP vs MAF, EGR or no EGR, AVCS vs none. Also be aware, a DOHC intake may not bolt up to a SOHC set of heads and vice versa. Some early 2.2L engines WOULD accept the 96-99 DOHC intakes. But that ended with the introduction of the 97 EJ heads.
