It's possible that a T1 cooling system in a T1 car is better than a T3 cooling 
system in a T3 car, I really don't know. I think that the CFM of the T# cooling 
fan is actually a bit more than the T1 fan, so I actually doubt this premise.

Either way this turns out to be, the fact remains that any attempt to put 
either cooling system in the other body will lead to incompatabilities and 
headaches. If your car is a T3 stick with a T3 engine arrangement. 

The T4 arrangement can be made to be similar enough to the T3 that it will 
work just fine, but the other mods necessary are a lot of work.
