Well, sort of. Maybe, with an oil cooler, it could still fare quite decently while fitted to a front-engined car...

But I was actually considering random water-cooled 4-cyl engines such as the Chevrolet 153 or the Volkswagen EA827. Sure they're more Brazilian-proof than most modern downsized engines, and would remain Brazilian-proof enough with sequential port-injection instead of a carburettor.
