Default WRX Engine Swap?

Im just wondering...is it possible? Because I might be able to get my hands on a WRX motor from my cousins friend who totalled his car due to rear end collision damage. :evil:

It's not just a motor mount issue. It's the fact that it's an incredibly unique engine (flat boxer style 4 cylinder). Not to mention it's an AWD setup. There's really no point in going into detail as to WHY it won't work. With enough money you could fit any motor in any car. But the custom work would cost more than your car is worth, for a whopping 200hp. For the amount you'd spend getting the EJ20 in your Tib, you could probably have a show winning car with 400whp on the stock Beta. :
