I just bought a 2002 wrx with auto trans and no motor. I plan on doing a manual swap and buying a jdm ej205. I will accept all advice on this as I am a newb to Subaru's all together. I daily drive a 2010 vw golf and plan for this wrx to replace it, i live in michigan and winter can be rough. I also own a 1986 bmw 325es which I plan to keep.
I will upload photos after work.

How's your swap coming? I might want to buy your auto if you're not using it.

My situation:

2002 WRX auto (which I want the auto) with a rod knock.

I can buy a JDM non Acvs engine for 1200

or

New 2.0 block from the dealer. I was thinking the JDM route so I can keep my old heads for a hybrid build.

I don't mean to hijack your thread
