Does it make a difference? Unless your going 500+ bhp either engine's block will suffice (and the chances are your 93 block is closed deck) but the internals on both the stated engines are weak, then there is the gearbox, brakes, intercooler etc etc etc, so how much power are you after as it won't be cheap to get it out of those engines.

Engine including build/parts will set you back around 3-3.5k, gearbox (as yours wont last) will be (full ppg one costs about 5k new or 2nd hand one/6 speed at 2.5k ish), so 6k there, fmic, oil cooler (recommended), turbo, injectors etc etc etc, brakes, new after market ecu as the old one will be struggling, so another 4k there, and there is probably more to go on that, or do what most other people do, buy a new age sti, turbo, injectors etc, car will be about 8-9k, plus about 3k's worth of mods

But just because its a closed deck block, dont expect it to be stronger, you need the internals uprating for it to come into its own really, and then only after serious power increases (500bhp+)
There are ways to tell, I shall see if I can find them, or have a little search on here
