Default engine build advice

just wondering if anyone can shed a little light on one or 2 issues for me
ive built a couple of impreza engines before but only in standard form,now im wanting to build my own forged motor and not entirely sure what fits what and so on,so here goes
1.im goint to be using a 2.0 closed deck block,what heads will fit it and what wont?
2.can a centre thrust block be converted to rear thrust
3.would a standard crank with a minimal grind and acl race series bearings live up to 380-400 hp with supporting mods.
thanks in advance peeps!

as above, starting from the bottom up, forget number 3 unless you want tears before bed time! as for number 2 yes you can machine the block for rear thrust bearing, and number one i believe any heads will bolt on but you need to make sure the compression ratio right.
