Default How hard is it to put a Blob WRX engine into a Hawk WRX?

Just looking for some help on this one as I know there's a few sensors that are wired differently from what I've read. I have a good engine in a shell that needs completely repainting, blob with a hawk conversion. But I can put the engine into a good Hawkeye rolling shell I've come across and I'm keen to do this.

What do I need to do/change and can the Hawkeye ECU be remapped to run it or would it need a more customisable ECU?

Would save alot off money doing it that way. Wouldn't you be paying more tax though?

Trying to get the sensors and ecu etc to work properly might be difficult, as isn’t the hawk drive by wire, avcs etc even as a wrx?

Would it be easier to get ecu and wiring harness from a blob and fit that into the shell instead?
