Default 04 wrx question

I had a rod bearing fail in my wrx and I need to fix it ASAP! I can't afford a new motor or a rebuild but I found a motor from a 98 sti and was wondering if it would work in my 04 wrx. I was also wondering if I could use the tranny in my wrx too.
Thanks!

So you bought a wrx with a blown motor and searched for the cheapest motor that was sti you could find, correct?

No, I had the car for about a month before the motor went. It was tuned on 16 psi, and I'm guessing it was a bad tune. So it will work?

What will work is if you get the STI swap and then give that and your WRX to me and i will give you a Lexus.
