Are the differences in sensors between model years significant enough that this is necessary, or is it more of a precaution? The new engine has most of the sensors installed so I wasn't originally planning on swapping them all over.

By the way, I don't know how the thanks feature works on this board but I really do appreciate all the help from you guys.

I would google Subaru parts and then look up the sensors most parts will have a item fits tab and it will tell you the years the sensor fits. just to play it safe.

I'm looking to drop a 2016 engine in a 2015, should be a direct swap no?

Yes it is direct. Just make sure it is AT to AT or MT to Mt or else you will need to do some parts swapping.

would a 2014 also suffice, the 2016 was sold and now there is only a 2014 left :'( i know as far as the coilpacks are different but i doubt that'd be much of an issue right
