Horizontal single-cylinder engines are there to stay
We can eventually get rid of the unpleasant looks of the kuliglig, but its essence might last longer. Retrofits of the same good old horizontal single-cylinder engine type used in the kuliglig can be performed in old cars with longitudinal engines, regardless of FWD or RWD. Chinese copies of Yanmar TF/TS or CY engines are cheap and plentiful, so why not to give'em a chance?

As long as it's the version with radiator instead of that hopper it might work decently. Having to refill a hopper every single operating day does not sound practical at all.
I saw a Volkswagen Gol (not confuse with Golf) with a Chinese engine a few months ago in Morocco.
A standard radiator is a must. In colder regions it can be used as a cabin heating provision.
I once saw a VW Brasilia with a single-cylinder engine out of a Kubota tiller tractor.
