I've been playing with doing this same swap, on paper. If I go through it, it will be an "all of the above" type deal.
Even with an aftermarket final drive and the tallest 5th/6th available, the 2.0/2.4 will still be spinning faster (with the engine's factory tire size) than the 1.0L in the Insight at the same speed. Nevermind with smaller wheels.
