Marushin Porsche engine model on ebay
Spotted this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/1-8-marushin-por...QQcmdZViewItem
Might be a bit small to power our cars, but looks like a lot of fun. Seems a bit high for that level of horsepower!

That is totally cool, but the price is just too high. For that price range I'll just build a full scale VW engine... and attach a blender to the drive shaft for outdoor margaritas. That's something I've always wanted to do. 
Reminds me of my neighbor when I was growing up. He had a tractor without a PTO so he transplanted a VW motor to the front of his hay bailer. I think the tractor had a motor he had scavenged out of a Pontiac. So when he was bailing hay it sounded like a Pontiac and a VW in a tight race. Every bit as jury rigged as it sounds.

Hey Risky - Can we get a hold of one of those - I think we can combine this with a turkey fryer and blend up minced turkey for dressing/ gravy and sandwiches at thanksgiving.

I had a link to a video of one of these Marushin running but, I can not find it.
A little different but, how about a blown V8.
