Default GF8 WRX motor into a GD NA

Hey everyone! So here's my situation; I have an 07 2.5i that has recently developed a knock. Instead of rebuilding it, or getting another replacement NA motor, I have been really interested in this salvage title JDM 98 WRX, with quite of bit of body damage. The engine is in great shape, and only has 72,000km (44,700mi) on it. Now it being RHD, I've done some research and have found that the engine should fit in there with fairly minimal problems, as the steering column does not get in the way. The good thing about me swapping the engine from one car to the other is that I have the full wiring harness, ECU and ignition from a fully running car and shouldn't have much problems.?

I couldn't find anything like this specifically and I was wondering if anyone else has done something similar to a job like this and had some tips, or even just tell me that is job is too large and complicated, but I am totally prepared that it might take a while, getting everything to work etc. I have done lots of engine jobs before, taking out my engine to do seals and so on, so I'm not a complete novice, but nothing quite this big.

Also I already have some STI suspension parts on the car. (including STI struts that I put on last summer) I know that suspension can be a concern when running a bit more power than before.

Thank you everyone!
