What exactly are your goals with this? Solely a daily driver? DD w/ track time or Dedicated track car? power goals? suspension? or do you just want a nice looking car?

Good luck finding a clean EM, I am also biased as to that I drive an EJ8. There are so many things you can do. B18C or even a K-dub. Although my EJ and I have a love/hate relationship.
