Now comes the real challange...what if the connectors from one harness to another don't match, etc 2004 STi to MY02-03 WRX engine to cabin harness??????

The V7 (2004-2005) STi everything will fit into a 98 RS (and look stock at it). I quoted in another post that the total cost was around 10k for us, but we're good friends with the shop down in Hawaii. As for the BS comment, we got our wreck 04 BRAND NEW (40 miles) for less than 10k. 
edit: Time is a factor in this. Our swap took 6 months.
