I beleive the manufacturer did fit the Jab engine to aircraft used in Europe, but cooling seems to be a problem for hotter regions. I think the cowl would have to be redesigned to cater for an air cooled engine. Here is the answer I got from Fantasy air some time ago...

Hello Dave,
We do fit the Jabiru engine to Scandinavian countries. It has very bad reputation in hot countries, because of overheating problems etc.
We had to make some adjustments in engine installation to avoid the overheating problems and it was fine, but still not in countries with hot weather. Rotax engines are MUCH more reliable.
There is no price difference currently between Allegro with Rotax or Jabiru.
So, we are sorry but we do not want to sell Allegros to South Africa with Jabiru engine.
Kind regards,
Marcela and Josef

Hi all
Does any body know if there has been a Jabiru engine fitted to the Allegro
yet. I would prefere the lighter weight of the jabiru engine.
