Hi guys i have been offered a type R shell and im very interested in it , its the full lot basically everything except the engine now at this minute in time im a little bit skint , so wondering would the engine from my mint 80,000km WRX go in ok , i know its sacralidge etc etc but im lookign for a quick fix untill i can afford a descent engine , and i really dont want to let this opportunity bypass me !

Thanks in advance for any help........

 

Yes - is the short answer

 

excellent thanks for that Brun !

 

Yes but dont do it!

 

Why not. Subaru made some with a standard wrx lump in.

 

Indeed. Many, many STIs now have an non-original engine in now anyway.
