(I'm obsessed with the Beck 550 kit cars)

Do you think the 40-hp Yamaha engine would work fine in the 550 kit car? I mean, VW Beetles had 40 hp engines back in the day. At 1200-1300 lbs, the 550 could be a "thrifty looker", don't you think? It wouldn't be aero, but it could still get great MPG with a simple-to-repair VW suspension.
