2.5 Legacy engine

I'm looking to replace my 1.9 petrol engine in my t25 camper with a 2.5 Subaru Legacy engine with the help of RJES. However I'm struggling to find a suitable donor that has not done starship milage (I'd like to find one with less than 90K). Does anyone know of a suitable vehicle or specialist breaker to supply the engine and other needed bits? Thanks in advance.

Best to try and find a crash damaged one. Mine has been done a while now but i found a 2.5 Legacy automatic in Portsmouth (i'm in midlands) it had been rear ended and had 90k on the clock. Got it for £290!!!! Worked out about £390 by the time i had back home but i kind of figured i would break the car and make some cash back. Also believe it or not it is cheaper to get a Subaru motor rebuilt than an aged VW.

Anyway when i checked the history a brand spanking new motor had been fitted by Subaru 40k ago. Bonus.

I also made over £1000 selling interior, panels, box and other bits. So with ended up costing me only £400 including all parts from RJES.
