What some have done is to attach the dizzy to the front of the cam gear, which is a bit messy and needs to be done carefully, but if you want to keep the stock ECU looks like it might be your only choice. I guess the *really* rough thing to do is what they used to do with supercharged V8s, and run a thin toothed belt straight off the crank pulley, 2:1 ratio... that that would be just plain messy and unreliable...

I was hoping something else might slide in, one of the more boring swap done on sidekick is a swift GTI engine, but it has the same dizzy problem. It turns out that a Mazda dizzy bolts in and just needs a new connector to work and only sticks out ~40mm from the back of the head. I hadn't thought of the belt drive, I don't think it would last long, I use the truck offroad a fair bit ( that why I want the Toy reliability, offroad drive is fun, hiking back isn't  )
Any ideas about the intake pointing the wrong way? I was thinking maybe put the airfilter inside the truck.
