Subaru EJ22 with Kennedy Engineered Products adaptor kit.

Overhead cam
16 valve
Counterweighted crank
130HP
Makes more torque than wasserboxer across the entire powerband.
6000+ RPM
Typically last 250K+ miles
VERY good reputation for reliability
Brand NEW long blocks available for less $$ than REBUILT wasserboxer.
Very clean burning engines with way less emissions than wasserboxer.
CA smog legal swap.

I think it will be a nice improvement in a lot of ways.
LOTS of folks have done this swap already, and love it.
