I think an S2K engine would be ideal in an airplane. It's power/weight ratio is better than most air cooled aircraft engines. Some power would be lost in the gear box that would be required, but this wouldn't be a big deal.

In my living room. Makes a nice conversation piece. Though I know nothing about mechanics of this technological marvel, just the stats.

Formula Atlantic but then the 1600cc Toyota's are getting
265+hp already. The Honda should be able to make more HP.
