Okay I just realized, Valvematic's extra shaft adds like an inch of height to the engine...guess the hopes of seeing it on the FT are pretty slim The 1ZR-FAE is 34mm taller than the 2ZZ-GE, so on a boxer...that's going to be double that. 10mm stroke reduction, increased compression would cover only 1/3 of that extra height although maybe the engine being farther back helps.
