into a 1997 legacy gt. what all is needed and is it to much work to even bother with. I am not to car savy but i have some guys that are really good with cars that are offering to help. Any feedback would be helpful.
thanks
Cary

ecu, harness, crossmember, tranny (optional), fuel pump probably, exhaust (or getting what you have modified at a muffler shop) is all i can think of but i'm sure theres more!

welll ... just about everything
the only good thing about this motor is that its comes with a manual tranny . and has the bigger vf-12 vs vf-10 (i think)

keep looking for a >96 impreza and a 95> legacy a usdm wrx motor is a way way better choice

do you have to pass emmissions this engine will never pass obd-2 (ever)

oh ya, didnt notice your car's year! If you want to swap and have to pass emissions you'll have to swap in a 1997 or newer engine. I know it sucks, which is why i'm getting a 1996!

95 and 96 legacy are still obd 2. You have to buy an impreza if you really want to be legal about it. You could get either a 93 or a 94.
Honestly, if you're not car savy, then i would recommend buying something already turboed from the factory. A swap is A LOT more work then you think. Mine legacy with a full jdm sti version 8 swap took over six months. Most of that was procrastinating on the wiring.

yes 95> legacy and 96> impreza are obd-2
