Hey everyone!
I'm about to pick up a '95 Legacy LS AWD for ~2k and wanted to know what turbo engines would go into this car. Will the 2002+ WRX engine fit into it with little-no trouble? How about an EJ20G?
What price range would I be expecting for the engine?

Thank you.

They'll all fit. Think legos. The challenge is the wiring, which will have you gutting and replacing a very significant portion of the wiring to make it run properly. Prices vary greatly. Anywhere from $1500-8000 for parts depending on which exact variant you get.

Also, it helps us if you include your location in your profile. Some locations need to be worried about emissions stuff and could ony legally get away with an '02+ WRX swaps. Others have more lax standards...
