I have in the past chatted with a guy that claimed the main problem with the Corsair engine was the four reverse gears so it must have fitted physically.
I met a guy who had an RO-80 that had been converted to V4 and the first thing he said when he looked at me working on my Saab 95 estate was that the engine looked like it had been fitted backwards because most of the small parts are on the opposite sides of the block.
They actually sold a car called a Taunus but not in the UK. If you found a scrap one of those they had a 1700 engine that did fit in the Saab 95/96 and went faster. Some people called them German Cortinas because they looked vaguely similar from a distance.
