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!
