You seem far more knowledgable than most, especially since you have stripped both cars down. This swap you have in mind isn't something that's a typical run of the Mill type of deal so I wouldn't expect too much information to pop up.
Just as a suggestion since you are planning on using the IS250C chassis it might be easier to start in that section to find out what parts are compatible with the ISF considering people swap ISF parts on to their ISX50 and not really the other way around.
In all honesty this thread hasn't really gotten off track either.

In all seriousness good luck with this if you do the swap!

Lol. What do you expect us to say? The 2UR-GSE itself costs more than some brand new cars. With a question like yours it seems you have money to burn. Anything is possible if you have the money. The F has been swapped into a FT86 and a Supra before.

yeah iv already taken that direction
im in the process of finding out the tail section compatibility of the car
if they run the same length and subframes
its just a matter of transplanting F+R subframes to the car and doing the wiring

It's an STi, I owned an 08 WRX for 4 years. That convertible STi has BBS and Brembos specific to the STi. Also the PBP (Plasma Blue Pearl) is specific to only STi's in 2011+ when this was done. Just a fun fact.

One more fun fact, all the way up until 2005 it was called the WRX STi but from 2006 and onwards it was separated and sold as just the WRX and STi. So it is just an STi, haha but yeah back on topic!
