The Aspire had a Korean engine for one generation so it would be a gamble until you knew that it was the Mazda version, plus if I remember correctly it was always a cast iron block. The Korean engine has no aftermarket that I am aware of, and in this case you would want the Mazda variant which is just a smaller version of their 4 cylinder engine family at the time.

It's true that the KA and even the SR are heavy engines so I don't doubt it could be light. The problem would be sourcing a cheap Yaris engine.
I'd like to get a 240sx hatch and put a Suzuki engine init because they're both light and small displacements. And then I'd built an engine for E85 but keep it a street car. I spent some time researching the G family hence why I brought it up. But right now I just need a car so I can get a job away from home. Someday I'll get around to it
