Mazda 12A rotary? They're (as far as I know) pretty short, fitted with carbs, not all that light though.
(Please note I have no personal experience of them and am just regurgitating internet half truths and received wisdom...)

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

saab v4 is a cologne v4 not a great engine but would fit very easy as its not even as long as the old a series I am not too sure the facts are correct on the Mondeo Duratec V6s. Maybe you mean something else about the idler shaft and rear mounted belt (if so, please explain). Only the 2.5 comes with the Inlet manifold Runner control (IMRC) which can make things tricky (I guess that without it, they are a gutless and flatish engine below 3.5krpm)., and they are not belt driven, both are done by chains on the crank side of the engine. Only the water pump belt lives on the 'back' of the engine, driven by the camshaft (later ones do not have a tensioner). If it were me, I'd be tempted by an MX-5 engine and box with a custom prop. Light, and now I'd say rotten MX-5s are not too pricey either. It should be a simple fit with a nice power upgrade and adequate tuning potential. EDIT: Cheers Rich, I'm clearly slightly tired!
