Mazda RF7? Isn't it the same as the Kia J2? If so, it would move it like a 4-pot Iron Duke (which was the only 4-cylinder every offered as an option for the 3rd-gen Camaro).

I'd also consider an Isuzu 4BC2 or a 4HF1. Or if you don't mind messing with electronics why not a Cummins ISF3.8 out of a Foton Aumark?
