That's got to be the key. I knew someone once who had a Corvair engine in a 60s 
bus, so if it will fit in a bus it will fit in a type 3. I wonder how much 
heavier it is?

I would expect the cooling to be a problem with a Corvair engine in a type 3, 
however, because, like the type 1s, it requires a seal all around the engine 
compartment that blocks off the upper half from the lower half.
