Apparently, they're not going to be selling engines, or giving out much information about how and where they got theirs. I had a strange idea about using one (or something similar) in a certain project here at home, but alas, I'll just have to consider the same idea that a certain 24 Hours of Lemons race team did with a Mazda Miata, putting a 600cc snowmobile engine and chain drive under the hood...which lasted the entire 24hr race.
Curses. Back to the drawing board.

Oh well,nothing wrong with a snomo engine evilscientistmoose.Get yourself a 1000cc BRP DI unit and your off to the races-with reverse and no heavy trans.Sweet.
Got any HP and torque figures?

Some are known to be 350 + but here's a little 310 hp kit.Sounds like a good engine to pop into a hill climber

Torque I don't know but supposed to be an honest 180+ hp with no modifications or bolt ons and apparently lots more to be had.

Anything else out there that might be a decent substitute, or do I need to look at the Mercury V8 outboards?
