What is the smallest universal motor I can buy?

(OP)
Need some help with this one.  Anyone know of a source for universal motors that have roughly a 1.4" OD and are ~ 2.5" long?  I'm working on a design where this would be very nice to have, but I have yet to find any that work in this package.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

Have you tried drill motors? I would think the average hand drill would be a universal motor about this size.
