Help needed with engine swap

I have a 99 JDM WRX and want to put the 2.0 late model WRX drivetrain in. Does anyone know what pieces are different and what I need to do this swap? This is going to be a race car so emissions are not an issue.

what the ****?

why in the hell would you put in a later model EJ20 ( i assume USDM ) into a JDM chassis that had a motor that made 280ps?

youre going to lose at least 60 hp and as the fact that its not going to be emissions compliant, why not just keep the one you have? or just drop in a later model JDM EJ20.........
