I have previously dropped a couple of Liberty/Legacy RS motors in early WRX's to get a car going again. The engine swap is straight forward enough, however there are some differences. Realistically the idea is to put later model running gear into a car, not earlier model. The motor may have been built by using the Legacy/Liberty RS closed deck block with later model heads.
Sounds like you need a lot more info before committing any money at all to buying it. There's a lot of bad jobs and half baked WRX's out there, especially in the GC8's as they are getting on a bit.
