Well, it was gonna be a 20HP Lombardini... but I think the guy was sadly mistaken, because he just showed me a blue single cylinder, which is more than likely no more than 14HP.

The other option was a B/S 18HP I/C engine from one of my lawn tractors, barring that, the best option I have is a 10HP launtop [chinese] diesel left over from a bike that got trashed by my house falling on it.

Honestly, I don't think 10HP will be enough to keep me at/near 45 MPH around here. Lots of small hills and such.
