Wow. that is a huge project.
I dont know if the floorpan is different, the rear suspension may be an issue to convert to a diff setup.
It may be possible, but it may be cheaper to sell and buy a WRX.

Yes,
I agree with Vexx.....
Last month we bought a Legacy turbo engine for TT$22,000 from the Bamboo!!
We waited for Mahadeo and the others to get engines, hoping the price would be less, than what the guy wanted. Well, Mahadeo wanted 30K, while another with a front cut was only selling the entire cut for 40K !!!!
I had to put my tail between my legs and go back to Boyzin. Pay first, then he will remove the engine from the front cut.
And listen to this..............NO GUARANTEE !!!
Of course the engine was started and run in the front cut before I paid. For consolation, we got the ECU.

Sell the car as is, and buy a car stock with the engine you want.
The candle costs more than the funeral.

RR.
