sorry for all the questions..pretty new to this caper
cheers guys and gals
This would be an expensive way to go because you would also need the rear diff to get the right ratio.

IMHO I would either a) Buy ramons holinger dogbox ready to go for $8k. Then when funds allow repair your box with original stuff and sell it for approx $1500.

b) build up something with straight cuts 1-4. From memory this will cost approx $4k.

c) other option is to buy a second hand box and just bolt it straight in. This will cost approx $2k and hopefully will have had less of a hard life than your current box.

Buying a new box from subaru is drug money. Dont even entertain the thought.
