Short Engine vs Tall Engine ?
Given a replacement short engine, would it be difficult to make it fit with the existing cylinder heads ?
And if not, would it then be possible to replace the cylinder heads later with better ones at a later date without having the whole engine out ?
In each case, even if the capacity of the block hasn't changed, would a remap be necessary ? (keeping the original turbo for the moment).
Trying to budget for upgrades, without going too wild in one step.

The intake manifold should go with the heads it came from.
A remap is always necessary if you're going to modify it.
If you can't accept the last one, please sell your Subaru.
