     Normally the typical 360 cubic inch 150 HP air craft engine would be generating at least
     360 HP at 6000 RPM if it were a light duty car engine. Breathing would be limited
     at max RPM. It would also weigh more. If it were a heavy duty gas truck engine it would
     be generating 150 HP at 4500 RPM but it would weigh 1000 pounds.

I could see one of these things in the back of a VW bug if they could be rev'd that high.

Plans #957 Chapter? big pieces done, details, details

They would explode around 4000 to 4500 RPM :)
You would need an OD.
