Funny you should say that, since GM had the prototype Stir-lec, a Stirling-powered hybrid, running back in 1969.
Condensers are no more of a problem than radiators are for IC engines. As for pollution control, it is one heck of a lot easier to clean up a steady-state flame burning at ambient pressure, than it is to deal with all the byproducts of IC engine combustion.
