Default 1998 forester engine swap!

Not real familiar with Subaru's I have a 98 forester that needs a engine my question is will any ej series 2.0 or 2.5 bolt in and be plug and play? I found one on Ebay but noticed it didn't have the egr system on it,will it effect the drivability without it? Tia!

They'll physically fit, but might not operate correctly. If your ECU is expecting an EGR system, but the engine doesn't have one, you'll likely have a constant CEL, but it won't affect driveability. The cam and crank pulleys/triggers must match the ECU, it's easiest to use the existing ones on the new engine.
