Here's the odd thing -- Porsche not being the type of outfit to let research go to waste, the bottom end designed for this diesel was used for the next generation 356 engine. So all subsiquent Porsche 4 cylinder air cooled engines up through the last 912's in 1969 had their roots in the Porsche/VW air cooled diesel.
