I'd say go search the USMB, there is a guy on there with a EJ swap into a 88 RX. http://www.ultimatesubaru.net/forum/

I also know of a few WRX engine swaps into Brats (Brumbys) by Aussies so I'd say it can be done, how hard it will be is another question.

i am also converting it from auto to standerd

do you have the turbo motor yet?

if not you could start w/a n/a 2.2, that will be a increase of nearly 50 HP. and if you get a 2.5 you will boost it by 80hp. that is twice what you have now.
