All I know is that on the UK MY99/00 Version 2 engine the inlet manifold bolts are staggered and not inline so when swapping the bottom end you have to use the existing heads/inlet BUT you can use any wrx or sti bottom end. When mine started knocking I just changed the whole lump as it was easier.
If mine ever goes again i'll be swapping to a v7/8 sti bottom end thats for sure or do a CDB build.
I thought all the jdm imports were sti's? I'm learning as I go along so maybe wrong.
