Buying a Suby...

I just sold my widebody 2003 Hyundai Tiburon V6 because my insurance is throuhg the roof!!
Since winter I have been driving a '92 Subaru Loyale that is rusted to **** and has 380,000km.....and just wont die!! and I BEAT the car!!
I have come to the conclusion that I am in love with Subaru... I am also in love with turbo and awd.
So...here is my plan...
I am going to buy a '93 Impreza 4dr 2wd and swap in the EJ20T motor, tranny, brakes, etc...
I have been doing some research and have found no real problems with the swap.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice or comments...thanx for the help!

why buy 2WD if you love the AWD? It is far from cost effective to convert 2WD to AWD unless you get the car for free maybe.

FWD ej20? sounds interesting. Is it an automatic too? If not you could probably do some huge burnouts.

thats exactly the same setup i was thinking, but i was going with an EJ22t, and my car is an auto FWD, which is how im leaving it. if youre getting a 93, just drop in a 94 EJ22T, as it has a closed deck block ( i believe ) and you have the opportunity to make more torque throughout the rev range, as it is .2 liters bigger
