I think the best way to make the EJs better is to increase bore spacing, and running a timing chain to keep it the same length or shorter, with only 4 cylinders. Even just 10mm to the bore could give you normal sized rod bearings and more space for head drainback so you can get rid of the dogleg ports. For H6 the EG is it, for me. Just cause it doesn't reduce bore spacing(ultimately, sealing and bearing area) or compromise the bore (which ultimately limits valve area and lift and flow). Reduced bore spacing was a stumbling block for the Ford modular engines for over a decade. I understand the draw of the easy fit and VVT, I certainly hope it works out for you, but there's something to be said for learning from history and keeping it simple.
