Id say go with the JH motor. Its got a few more ponies (90hp@5,500) and 
torque (100tq@3,000) than the EJ motor (71hp@5,500 and 83tq@3,200). That way 
you can rebuild the EJ and have a spare?? Just an idea.... 

Its a simple drop in engine swap, easy as can be. The only thing you will 
need to do is cut the upper radiator hose or buy a new upper hose for it. 
Either way, its one of the easiest engine swaps there is. Its almost like not 
an actual swap, but more like an engine change. 
HTH!
