2009 Subaru Forester 2.5 X Limited Motor Swap

Asked by korndwg Oct 29, 2020 at 12:15 PM about the 2009 Subaru Forester 2.5 X Limited

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

Hello, I have a 2009 Subaru Forester 2.5 X Limited, and it has a blown head gasket. The ~$3,000.00 price tag on the repair is a no go for me, so I'm considering just doing a full motor swap. Anybody know which engines I can throw in this car?

Get another quote. Three grand is much too high.
