How about a distributor in the front small block? All your other sane wishes can come true easy enough with a little money except maybe the 4cyl. slant 6. Jeeez, what's with that? Too much power for you? :-)

Distributor in the front isn't a sane wish.....my old falcon used to shut off in bad rain storms. My thinking on the 4-cylinder slant 6 was for even better economy.....Ford put a 2.3 litre turbo motor in the old heavy T-birds....at over 200 H.P, they went fairly well......a slant 4 would be about 2.5 litres.
