How about a Mazda rotary engine?
Though - looking at some photos, they look rather tall.
How did the GS Birotor behave? might be worth looking at one (find one first!) to see how the rad as fitted (I'm assuming they were water-cooled)?

How about making your life seasier AND get to keeping the fab Citroen flat-4 ?

So that you can devote all your time in trying to adapt larger disk brakes...

I've seen this before and I like it!!
The G engine sounds like a turbine anyway before Magasquirt/Turbo.
The comments on his other YouTube files mention a doubling of bhp.
It certainly goes very well and the standard brakes are huge so I'd expect
they'd manage - vented are no good on inboard disks!!!
Rhd, so could be someone in the UK I need to talk to! Other clips show greenlaning
in Dorset...

Robert, You'd have no problem fitting in. I'm 6'4" and learnt to drive in a Gs and Gsa. They were fantastic cars for their day, so smooth and vibration free. At idle passengers used to think the engine had stalled..
