Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

you'll need a tranny made for awd, driveshaft, perhaps shifter, rear end, rear cv joints, probably different rear suspension made for cv joints otherwise, the chassis is the same, the holes are drilled, so on...the exhaust may need changing also, if you have found a wrecked awd, go for it by all means!

Yeah, a complete drivetrain from the engineblock back.

Tranny
driveshaft
rear subframe
rear diff
axles
hubs

Find wrecked cars, and see how much you can get. It's been done, so don't worry. If you find an RS, All the above will fit and you get upgraded tranny, lower gears all around, bigger brakes (disk to boot)...

You also need a new gas tank from what I heard.
