Define easy? they can all fit but time and money is needed. It really depends on what the final product is that you require? As the Gen2 already came out with the EJ25 DOHC (Outback and RX models) then this would be the easiest to swap. As for the H6 conversion, then I would start saving now :)

Venom's H6 is a Gen2 but from memory it was done by someone else (sorry Venom if this is incorrect) and it looks a very nice conversion, see here...

Haha i'm not brave enough to do my own conversion, yet. Al who did my h6 conversion reckon'd about 8thousand to do the job including motor and all parts. Might be a bit cheaper now the h6's are more common. No more complicated than any other conversion that requires a loom splice.

The 2.5 quad cam can plug straight into the 2.2 loom, there's lots about it on usmb forums, its worth doing a search over there.
