Try doing a search of the forums due to many people asking the same question. There is a lot of well documented conversions just like the one you are talking about. Go to the "Projects" forum and search around, I know you will find a 97 L Impreza with a recent full STi powertrain swap and some other goodies. It's a start.

project cars are good learning platforms, but make sure its not going to be your daily driver or you when you have issues, they become MAJOR issues.
