Ok, we're finally getting around to starting on this. The guy took a while to get a motor, but he dropped it off at my house last night. Surprisingly, the whole thing (on top of a pallet) fit inside a volvo wagon.
This isn't going to be a straight swap so it will be a little more complicated than unhooking stuff and hooking it back up, but it shouldn't be too bad based on what I've read online. The JDM ej20 n/a is nearly a direct swap for the n/a ej25 that we had in the us. You just need to swap the wiring harness, pretty much all of the belt driven accessories and one of the cam gears.
This particular example has 96,000 km so just below 60k miles. Because it's such low mileage I think we're just going to throw a timing belt on it and not worry about the pulleys and water pump for now. I think his plan is to sell it soon after anyway.
