Default Best place to buy complete STI swap

I'm searching for a 265bhp complete engine swap. I saw some prices in UK but a Friend told me that in Japan maybe I can buy a lot more cheaper than here. Someone know how this works?

Better buying locally I'd say. By the time you ship an engine from Japan the costs would be greatly increased. Contact the breakers on here, I'm sure they'll help.

I'm near London.
I'm looking for an Impreza 2005-2007 2.0 T STI engine 265hp or 305hp.
Here they want A LOT for the complete swap and in most of the cases they have imported Japanese cars or imported Japanese parts for sale so, I think the price on Japan will be a lot better than here that's why I'm looking to buy the parts I need there.
