Suzuki 1.0 Modifications?

I have a 1.0 Suzuki from a Geo Metro that I want to use in a narrowed 1927 Model T Ford. I've cut 5" out of its width (the T) and will be building what is typically refered to as a "one man modified". These were popular on the dry lakes in the 1930's/1940's.

I chose this engine because of it's size. I'm extremely limited on space under the hood. Space limitations also dictate that I run an automatic transmission (no room for a clutch pedal). I'll drive it locally but don't have any plans to put it on the interstate. "Power" isn't a huge concern with this one. As long as it runs and keeps up with local traffic I'm OK.

Is there an automatic rear wheel drive trans that will mate to the 1.0?

The distributor on my engine comes straight out the back of the head. If it would turn 90* and point straight up, it would save me a few inches in the length of the engine compartment. Is there a 90* adaptor that will work on my 1.0?

Thanks, Jim
