What "subaru gx" you have? I suspect its an Impreza.
Yes it can be done, you will need the wire loom, engine etc, GT Foz engine is EJ20 Turbo, and if its an EJ18 Impreza it would have drum brakes in the rears (I'm unsure if there is discs on AWD models), would be ideal if you replaced them to discs.
Cheers
