This, along with 9"W rear tires would be a great combo provided the tranny and chassis handle it without issue, which they most likely do. If it fits without a power bulge, even more so.
Unfortunately that engine probably cost as much as the car to buy in a crate, if it was possible to obtain one other than for warranty replacement.
I experienced driving a 3 cyl turbo car as far back as 1987, when I worked for Toronto's oldest Chevy dealer. That was the Chevy Sprint turbo, made by Suzuki.
That dealership and the little office I had gave me the creeps. In the 90's they demolished the building for development and the remains of a missing woman were discovered in the foundation. Apparently killed by her jealous husband back in 1947 after a night of flirting at the local tavern. Case was never solved, he continued to raise their kids on his own, probably after having murdered their mom.
