Default Ej20 short block compatibility

Hi all,
So I have my 1993 WRX @127k miles.
Have owned for nearly 3 years now and I'm trying to prepare for an eventual bottom end failure. The car is used for fast road, some track and is also my daily driver during summer.

My idea is to get a cheap ( possibly knocking) used short block, spend some time refreshing it and when the day comes I can hopefully do a straight forward short block swap. I'm hoping by preparing and gathering parts early I would save money IF my current engine gives out.

My question is if I can't find a V1-V2 s.block then can most EJ20 short blocks be mated to my 93 heads? I know the timing belt tensioner is different on the later models.
