It's not really something I would expect the average Joe to even lurk about its existence, but it could fare better than some other engine swaps I often see on rear-engined Volkswagens. Maybe it could also be nice for a Subaru for instance.

and downright cheap for aircraft radials
It was originally meant for light-sport aircraft, and the only other radials that may also fit such applications are those 7-cyl and 9-cyl Rotec Aerosport engines.

Full reman of an existing 4 banger lycomming is twice that
The smallest 4-banger Lycoming currently available has nearly twice the displacement of that 3-cyl radial.
