This is a pretty popular swap. One of the biggest tips is that you can get an adapter from Kennedy Engineered Products to bolt most Subaru flat fours up to a VW transaxle. See here:

Most of the other components - motor mounts, cooling system, and wiring - are things you are likely to have to build yourself.

Why? With adavances in syn. oils, I bet the old engines could really last with oil coolers.
