If you want some SERIOUS air-cooled grunt you could always try to shoehorn a Magirus Deutz air-cooled V8 truck diesel in there. That cavernous engine bay suddenly starts to look a bit small!

most likley to an aircraft motor.
They only rev to around 3000 rpm at redline. :o
Anything more and they require a build. :oops:
Unless in Tractor Pulling Spec ! :shock:
But then they are very short lived.
