I was considering buying a rear ended low km Gen 4 3.0 6speed and using it as a doner or getting the 3.6 out of a Tribeca separately and a 6speed separately but I've been looking at that option and it looks to be alot greater cost.
Thanks in advance for you advice/opinions
Cheers!

Standard 3L. Getting one from a gen 3 outback (EZ30D) would be cheaper and easier as the tech is a more closer match. Youd have a crazy amount of wiring to do with a 3.6

EZ30D
Getting an EZ30D from a gen 3 outback is the easiest, but thats a very weak easy.
If you want it to even remotely work without fiddling too much with the ECU, you'd have to get the auto trans out from the gen 3 also.
If you want it manual, the ECU has to be rewired and re-programed with a new code as the gen 3 outback 3.0L never came with manual transmission so the ECU will always be looking for the transmission to change gear and wondering why it's idling at different RPMs thus causing an engine light. Cam overcame this with a re-program from a tuner in Barbados. You'd have to get an aftermarket ECU, as most of them don't need to know what the gearbox is doing.
EZ30R or EZ36
These ECUs arn't hack it up and 'plug and play', due to the CANBUS networking it uses the ECU is split up into different control boxes around the car (think of the MCM gramps build with the Haltech Elite). You need really good configuration/code, someone with the know how to wire it up and alot of luck.
My advice:
If you're going with EZ30R or EZ36 route, get someone like Al/Turbo Yoda in AM auto to do it for you, these new engines are a league of their own in terms of the computer side of it, putting in the engine is the easy part.
This is what I'm going to do with my outback when it's time for a trans swap
