Haha, what made you think of this 'possibility'
Did you get the Bill Fisher book(let)? I ordered one through ebay as well,but haven't received it yet....

I fear that it will fit Type 4 cars, dune buggies and Bajas more easily than a GL 1302 that doesn't want to headbutt onlookers with its appearance.

I think too that it will not really fit a 1302 or any other stock bug engine space. It could maybe, but would include some new modifications that no-one has ever done (thats why I like it
), but that will also exclude it for your application...
The type 5 is still for gearheads that also wrench themselves, as there are too few being made IMHO. A total engine from Rocky Jennings for instance may be interesting to ask a quotation for
Asking doesn't cost you and it ends all speculation about price differences there may or may not be....
