Mike, I also have the '71 and have interchanged a couple of engines from
bugs, but haven't experienced the problem you describe.  Is it possible that
you aren't using the upright bug (type I) engine?  It should fit like a glove.
If you are concerned about sealing, if the back is sealed reasonably well
you won't have any cooling problems.  There's about 1/2 inch of space at the
front(FIF) of mine also, but it cools fine...IMOH *<:)
