I just watched the new episode of Jay Leno's garage where he did the review of a new American motor cycle company. They have designed and built a new aluminum 1650cc V4 motor that only weighs 140lbs. Its rated at 180 hp and 126 ft lbs of torque @ 5000 rpms. They sell crate motors and are anxious to see their motors cross over to other apps. Could this be a new option for a Sterling? I'm sure they are pricey but certainly cool looking motors. Looks like they might fit in a Sterling with room to spare and with the intakes sticking through the rear deck!

Impressive! And sounds awesome too!

So about 9k for the motor. 11 by the time you get an adapter made and everything else needed like radiator, plumbing etc... would really be interesting!

At that price I think I'd buy this first and keep the VW spirit alive *rock on*
