update: car is available and new engine with lower miles will be installed. Hood was swapped and will currently have a non WRX hood.
No worries on the ventilation since I will be making vent....unless someone just wants to swap hoods again but i could care less at this point.

car is in excellent condition and actually was never raced nor abused. Oil pump failure killed the bottom end and it was a quick and painful death.

I will be parting out the heads, manifolds, intercooler and misc things.
I'm keeping the turbo.
