WRX or STI Swap?

Haven't been on the forum for awhile but was wondering if anyone has swapped for the motor out of a Subaru WRX or STI?

If so any pro's or con's to doing it?

Thanks,
Gary G

That's the exact info I was hoping for. Let's see if the kit ever materializes as there have been no updates in months.

Cool a new game. Random, unknown post swapping.
That could get very interesting (mind you it may also help some threads actually make more sense).
