Question how to convert gearbox to run rear wheels only ?

Hey Guys

I am new to imprezas, i am starting a project soon using the running gear from a turbo impreza, and i am just wondering how easy it is to convert it to just rear wheel drive as from working it out with out measurements the engine will sit to far forward, any thoughts and help would be great?

Cheers Alex

Im pretty sure Wanatabe service make a center diff that you simply replace the stock on with. It changes it to RWD and when want AWD just change it back. Not sure if its newage only or both.
