Question Uk gearbox into a classic wrx

Has anyone done it? I know the ratios are better for cruising but wondered if it's just a straight swap?

Thanks

personally we always swap the front diff ratio to suit the original vehicle and then use the original centre diff ratio........................

this then means no need to swap the back diff, although you would have slightly longer gearing if you used all of the UK parts, rear diff, etc.............
