Default [Urgent] 2007 WRX engine into a classic

is that possible without to much modifications?

thinking about the electrical system, what needs to be changed and whatnot
the idea was too take the manifold of the old 2.0l engine and putting it on the new engine but we're uncertain that that would work so now I need your oppinions about what to do

weather i could swap in my old manifold/fuelrail and everything would work
OR if I would need to swap the whole electrical system over

I'm asking because im going to buy a used engine with only 1100km coming out of a wrecked car.. and im taking the gearbox too

Physically the engines look roughly the same. The inlet side of things is what tends to differ i.e. manifold layout, inlet tract. Beyond that I couldn't say.

You could use just the short block & use your existing heads. You just need to decide which head gaskets to use.

If your classic is a 99/00 then yes you could swap the inlet manifold across along with the cam wheels & crank sprocket wheel.
Otherwise you will need more than just the complete engine, alot of these swaps/project conversions have been done over the US (Nasioc) do a search & you will see whats involved.
