WRX motor in an Outback.....?

[Zoo Mob]

I know its gen 2, but I'm pretty comfortable in this forum, so help if you can...Just bought a 97 OB 5sp manual with likely bottom end damage to the engine. There happens to be a WRX motor and trans available locally for a pretty good price right now. What would be the complete list of parts I'd need to do the swap? Also, could I opt out of the WRX trans and just use the WRX motor with the OB trans, could it take the power? Any other considerations or places to research this?

Thanks

could it take the power?

Any other considerations or places to research this?
