By a JDM newage short motor and be done with it 
source from a reputable supplier and you should not go far wrong, can handle your bhp your aiming for with ease and give more if wanted, but then the question falls on your gearbox 
Just my 2 pence worth

great...I have a steep learning curve with these cars and engines, had enough of fords for a while so all your input helps tons...
JDM newage motor, okay will keep a look out for one...i assume it will not bolt striaght into my car without some mods as mine is 1997, but have to wonder if it would not be better to just buy a car already modified...
looking into options...
one last question is a 1996/7 wrx sti engine and box stronger than the std turbo car...

It will bolt straight in using your heads and inlet etc, its only the bottom end required all the rest you use from your original motor and loom
Just to add mine is a newage JDM motor all on stock and is running 453/446 so gives you am idea, along with many others running similar power on them motors

The late heads won't be of use to you as they have avcs on the heads, so it would either be a case if new management and loom to fit the avcs or source another set of the same heads that suit your build and inlet manifold as you already have, should the heads have suffered. I would think they should be ok, depends how dry they have been run, maybe scored the cams and journals, but you won't know until you get in to it unfortunately
