Re: engine swap
If you have done the conversion and the Subaru EJ20 has a major problem then all you have to do is find another EJ20 engine of the same age range and replace the one that's in your van, EJ20 engines seem to be available and can be cheap aswell. If the engine is the same you can just change the engine and keep your main loom and ecu. Whats up with the engine have you checked for fault codes ?

Re: engine swap
Yeah if it's an engine mechanical problem, you could just change the block and heads and leave the electrics and intake manifold (which has all the fuel delivery pipework, injectors, and throttle body attached as one neat unit). That would be a simple swap out if it were match for match.
