ENGINE SWAP!! What small block rear wheel drive aluminum V8 has the same
weight or close to it as the 1600?

I wish I had a U20 in front of me, but how about using the lower chain to
jackshaft and cover from a 1600, then use a belt up to the head with the
crank pulley on the dry side.  The head would have to have a plate/seal
around the cam to block oil.  Head to belt clearance still may be an issue.
Just an idea - Ok, back to my real job.

If you do that, add pistons and a set a valves to your next order from the
vendors.  Belts soaked in oil don't work for long.

Therefore, all someone has to do is find the right toothed pullys
from the right donor car that will fit  inside the U20 front cover
and then arrange a spring loaded tensioner mounted to maintain
tension on the back (smooth) side of the toothed belt.
