new motor? and trany

[SUBBIEEDUDE!]

i Got a 97 legacy Gt and its probably gona go soon, i want to up grade to a wrx engine tranny, as far as the drive train goes, does anyone know if my stock drive train will be able to hanlde a six speed?
thanks

if your going six speed youll need the matching dif, six speed shifter assembly, tranny crossmember, axles, and driveshaft(idk if the six speed driveshaft will be the right length).. but why do you want a six speed?

[SUBBIEEDUDE!]

well i dont really need a six speed i just wanted to see how much extra work it would be , and the maybe the cost, but it sounds like a project so ill prob just stick with a 5 speed.

also say i got a EJ20, would i have to get a new tranny or would my tranny work?

You'd get a 2.0l non-turbo engine?

you could either cyro your tranny and diff for around $750 but than clutches would be an issue but just find a low mile v1-6 5 speed tranny and it will support 300hp (wrx)
400hp (sti non-ra) than youll need a pull type clutch and slave

no not just and EJ20 my mistake. it would obviosuly be turbocharged. i'm still looking into them but from what i read the EJ20G is pretty strong but idk how hard it is to get my hands on one.
