I suppose this is around the size that early aircooled VW motors were, but Porsche can get 3L+ motors in smaller cars.
Gotta hold out for flat engines I suppose.
Checked out a few things and it seems like it wasn't as much of an issue as I remembered it being.
As for the car you are having issues with I imagine it is the 1940 mini car (morris minor)?
That car has a very short rear overhang, which might be part of your problem. I tried modifying the MorphTail parameter to see if I could make it slightly better and a value of 10 seems to give some decent results, letting you put V6s and V8s larger than 2 liters.
As for the other cars, most can fit some fairly decent engines, including large I6s in many cases.
Also, for the same displacement, a V6 will actually be shorter than a V8.
