I finalllllllly got my replacement motor to my house last night and had a chance to look at it. I got a ton of parts included which is super rad! Now I just want to try and figure out what year this motor is from and any other info. I looked all over the block and took photos of anything I thought may help, so onto the photos:

Thank you so much in advance!!

Looking at the orientation of the injectors (slanted inwards), the hitachi coil pack, and three-wire rotary idle air control valve this engine came from a 90 or 91 Legacy with automatic trans.

Awesome! So that should make things easier when installing into my 93 auto right?

Also, since its out of the car anyway I guess I am going to go ahead and rebuild the motor. I called a few machine shops today and was quoted about $300 to clean the block and hone the cylinders. Does that sound like a reasonable deal?

I would recommend using the entire 93 intake manifold. The injectors are different and the electrical plugs behind the battery could be different (3 square plugs vs. 2 square plugs). Just using the 93 intake manifold makes it easier.

That sounds ok, but it's been a while since I've had any machine shop work done so hopefully others can chime in.

Shops around me would charge half that, but it all comes down to location.

Where in Virginia are you? I am in Northern Virginia.
