Default V3 STI inlet on 92 WRX RA head?

As above really

Will a Inlet manifold from a 96 V3 STI fit a 92 WRX RA head/s?

Thanks
Rich

as above its a straight fit but the v3/4 heads are generally better so not sure why you would run this format??

Good enough for me, thank you both.

Long story but putting a 92 WRX RA engine into a V£ STI while the STI engine gets a build over the winter.

leave the v3 engine in the car and build a cdb over the winter it would save a engine swap and would give you a better build

The V3 engine is dead.

I'm interested in this post. I've been thinking about replacing my top entry TD05, seems to be more turbo options available for later front entry cars.
Would I be correct in thinking if I changed to a later inlet manifold and loom I could run a v3 ecu?

I would stay with the earlier ECU as all the sensors on the manifold are the same from V1-2 to V3-4
Keeps it simpler
