Gen 3 RX 2.5 to B4

Well its finally happen. After finding the perfect engine with only 102000km on her and looked like it been serviced every 3000km. Over 1 weekend we took the old 300,000km 2.5 out and replaced it with the B4 Legacy engine. 
We ran into a few problems like exhuast not matching up (B4 front cut exhuast was chopped off by 30cm), (fixed the exhuast with a 3 inch straight through) then the loom wasnt allowing few things to not work...so got all the B4 loom and threw it in...got the car to turn on and work. We still have a few problems like the climate control unit doesnt work with the B4 loom, Dome lights dont work, the odometer keeps resetting its self, as well as finding a B4 bonnet scoop that will fit onto a Gen 3 RX liberty.....Big thanks goes to Motorboy who did a large amount of the work and also Ben at Ichiban Imports.
