The installation in the Swift used thermosiphon cooling.
Would be a feasible boat engine, but you would need a marine gearbox, and I would strongly recommend heat exchanger cooling, as the engine is not designed for raw sea water.
Have you thought of advertising it in veteran car circles? There are a few restored Swifts about, and i would expect some of the owners would jump at the opportunity to pick up a spare engine.
