well just figure out the dimensions. anything is possible within reason. as long as the width is around the same size, i think it should work. i dont think the length would matter too much, there should be enough room and its a easier fix than the frame rails.

Good luck with a swap like this. If I had a good Porsche drivetrain, I would not put it into an Impreza - I'd put it into a chassis designed to handle that much power and torque. Porsche design is flat-6 rear-mounted engine with transaxle mounted ahead of the engine. There's also the technical hurdle of adapting the Porsche engine management system and wiring harness. The Porsche drivetrain probably costs several times what an Impreza chassis sans engine sells for.
How much money are you planning to spend on drivetrain swap like this?
