The only other air cooled engines I am familiar with are for aircraft, and those usually take heated air from cuffs wrapped around exhaust pipes. The old VWs (pre 1961, maybe earlier) sent the air used to cool the cylinders on to the cabin for heating. Of course, this brought on several interesting fumes, gases and smells, and this heater system was called "gas chambers". The connection, well you figure it out yourself.
