The Subaru ej22 is a popular engine for people to swap into vintage VWs as the the flat-four piston arrangement is similar to the air-cooled “pancake” engines that came in the VWs. If I can find a cheap enough donor car, I will be putting an ej22 in my VW bus

They are hard to find because the people with problematic 2.5L engines swap the 2.2L in. Cheaper to swap then have the gaskets done at a shop.
