One of the small TBIs that was suggested to me was from a Geo Metro.  I
think the "High Performance" engine is a 1.3L 4cyl.  Next size up seems to
be used on 1.8L engines.

Have you looked into whether a 1.6L engine from a Tracker/Sidekick would
bolt up to the tranny (or take the engine and tranny from a 2wd Tracker).
A few people have put in VW engines, both gas and diesel in the Sammy.  A
kit was available from Keltec later discontinued and now expected back in
early 2002.
