Krsowles Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm really sorry about that post! My speak to text wasn't working so well. I was in an area with very limited cell service, trying to get some info quick! I needed to close the deal and couldn't wait. Hope I didn't screw myself too bad. I bought a 97 Outback with minimal rust (for VT!) but the motor "just stopped running". "There were really no strange noises". I'm inclined to think timing belt as car has 206,xxx miles and not a great maintenance record availability. Apparently, they put a new battery in and nothing at all. I will try myself, this afternoon. My question was supposed to be "will a 01 Outback motor fit easily?" They are both 2.5 automatics. I'm hoping, because I bought the car for $500 and a motor from someone else (unrelated in anyway to guy I got car from, they don't know each other) for $250. Didn't have time to wait for cell service. That's my story. I'll be honest, I poured over this forum last night and I'm still not sure I'm ok. Any input appreciated and sorry for the messed up post yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wurkenman Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Should work. Look over the electronics and make sure the plugs are the same. You might have to switch intakes if not.

Krsowles Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks Wurker, I'm really stressing over this and I'm not sure why. I search and search forums for advice and it all seems to contradict itself! I'm a college graduate (a few years ago!) but I'm not stupid, I don't think... but I'm really frustrated as to a clear answer. :spin::spin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wurkenman Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I corrected my last post. Was typing from my phone and it sometimes has a mind of it's own. If you woke up today, you have another chance to do it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osei Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 You were not reading the searches at a good time. The 01 2.5 SOHC will not swap in place of a 97 DOHC. Try rereading. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
