New motor, looking for ideas.

[Heretic]

Happened upon a very cool motor. Air cooled , 9.4hp, single, DIESEL!
Any thoughts ?

Judging from what you've done in the past, whatever you come up with will be completely off the chain!!

How much does that lump weigh? Probably doesn't matter --- it'll pull whatever you want......

Holy crap that's a big motor! Wonder what the torque from that sucker is.

Going to need motorcycle tires - 123 pounds, dry.

13.7 ft/lbs torque. 416cc's in a single will vibrate a bit...

She's all freak'n there that's for sure.

I'm leaning towards something with a WWII military look, maybe a sidecar .

 

[FFV8]

Sounds good. I am kinda partial to sidehacks myself...
