Yes, it would be longitudinal, at least that is how I envisioned it.

Well, reduced drag through thrust. There will still be more drag than no cooling system. As for heat, its a pretty small engine, so probably not much.

Yes, the engine would be in between them, like an armrest, but probably too tall to put your arm on.

A brand new engine from BMW (without all the other sh#t needed to run it) is EIGHTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!
