From what I recall, one of the challenges with FA20DIT in a BRZ body
is that the exhaust manifold is mirrored since it's a turbo engine.
And I believe there are successful FA20DIT swaps?
Doesn't feel like a great example here.

I don't anticipate FA20 and FA24 to be super different from the packaging perspective.
Hard to swap between generations? Maybe.
Hard/expensive to design a car that would fit either? I don't think so.

Either way, it will be to learn from the experience of folks who
try FA20<->FA24 swaps.
