The 4AGE would be my choice. I had an '89 corolla GTS with that motor. Stock redline is 7800 and it will spin to 8500 n/p w/o rev limiter. Perfect for a light car. They also put that motor in the early mr2's (bluetop I think). MR2's are rwd but engine sits transverse over the drive axle just like fwd. MR2s also had the ze supercharged engine. The jdm 20v has 4 throttle bodies and VVT. 160hp stock I think. They even used that motor in the formula atlantic series racing and made 240hp in NA form. Not bad for a 1.6L.

Well guys, I've run into a bit of a problem. I stopped by an autoshop today, one that works specifically with imports and they said they would have to research it.

Some concerns of theirs were:-Hydraulic Clutch on the 4AGE-Wire Harness

Mainly the clutch, and the wire harness, they said if he had to build a custom harness then it could easily go into 4g's for it. It would be no problem to get the engine in there, just to get it in and have it running.... :( Any suggestions?
