egplain Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I have a 96 legacy automatic with the 2.2. I have been told that only a 2.2 from a 96 will fit. I have been told this by 2 different shops. I'm looking for some help on this because that just doesn't sound right to me. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnegg Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 96 legacy automatic with the 2.2you can swap in any ej22 96 - 98 with EGR, usually frond in an auto trans car. if a 98, use your original intake manifold. you can use a 95 ej22 from an auto trans car but you will need the matching exhaust manifold, exhaust y-pipe. 95 an 96 are non-interference engines. 97 - 98 are interference. ej22 engines from manual trans cars usually do not have EGR.
