Some (not all) useful engine swap threads combined here. We hope it will be useful for future people with similar problems.
Mainly for EJ18 and EJ22 to replace unwanted EJ25. Some are from the USMB and Legacy forums. These threads helped me a lot.
Thanks a million for the tip! (you guys know who you are)
