Default three cylinder cubs
Piper made about 30 J3 Cubs with two different radial engines. The engines were a Zekley and Lenape Papoose. Only one is left flying and it was a conversion back to a J3P. I believe it is in Oregon. I saw it at Oshkosh a few years ago.
I have a 1/3 scale J3 with a Saito 450 three cylinder radial. The Saito looks almost like the LaNap Papoose.

I have attached two pictures. I haven't gotten around to making a cowl yet.
