has to be a car engine with the same number of cylinders from the same manufacturer as the car. so nissan motors or datsun motors that are inline 4cyl.
nissan CR seem to be the lightest i can find with capacity around 1.3ltrs
see here for info

If i decided to do a PhD in mechanical engineering next year i will attempt to get a project optimising the design of the 1 litre CR engine and try to match power/torque with the larger motors in the series WITHOUT forced induction.
Think koenigsegg's 'free-valve' engine and some of the possibilities for improving bottom end, plus improving top end... plus the usual intake/exhaust tuning and a slight bump in compression ratio, but will limit myself to pump fuel
