Ver. 8 USDM STI into an 99-01 Impreza

I've seen sites like this guy's:
http://www.brendan-stewart.com/hobby/album5/index.htm

Has anyone here in i-club done this? If I have a USDM STI and will pick up a 99(ish) RS or L. What else would I need in order to move the whole STI drivetrain, from engine to the brakes, and the ECU/wiring harness into the GC body and make my own flavor of an STI ver. 6.

I've been on NASCIOC and RS25 alot and plan to get this project underway (hopefully) within 2 weeks.

What (if anything) extra needs to be purchased?

Is there any advantage in getting an RS vs. an L?
If the car is FWD, will I be at a disadvantage? Will the whole rear end of the drivetrain my 04 STI fit into the GC.

Are there any particular model-years (versions) I should be looking for?
Is there a particular advantage in staying late model versus going to a 94-95 model?

Any input from people who have done this would be appreciated.
