That's pretty slick!

At the other end of the scale, we have the Continental 1790. Here's an old gas-powered version. Current versions are diesel @ 1500hp.

I've been looking at these type of mini engines and I would love to put a mini V8 engine on a kart. Some of the ones I was looking at we're like 12hp @ 8000rpm. That would be bada$$!! While browsing I also came across mini jet turbine engines which is nothing new but still cool!!
