3s-fe swap questions

Hi All;
I don't know how you guys will welcome me, I'm swapping a 3s-fe into a suzuki sidekick, so it isn't really a toy I'm modding.
When you guys swap either the 3s-fe or the ge engines is there a distributor the fits without going through the firewall? Or a right angle adaptor like the suzuki's use?
Is there any online wiring diagrams for the fe engines efi? I've found lots for the ge or the 5s-fe but it doesn't help.
The donor car was an 87 celica, and the engine is going into a 92 sidekick, it should be a good match, size and weight seems good and I'll get close to 2X the power and torque.
If you are wondering why I didn't just get a landcruiser or Rav4 both are expensive here, and the Rav4 doesn't seem to last with heavy offroading. The Cruiser would be nice but most of the trails I do are narrow.
Thanks
Pat

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.
