The SVX EG33 engine is more powerful, and has proven excellent
reliability. The EZ30 Grand Wagon (Outback) flat-six hasn't been
around that long, so I'd say its reliability has yet to be shown,
either way. And the price difference as well as availability of
over-the-counter adaptor parts... (of course the EJ/EG adaptor plate
& flywheel may well fit the EZ also... in fact I'd be surprised if
they didn't).
