Every gear ratio available that you could think of. Stone simple with lots of pre-EPA engine cases around.
D series is a Honda motor series, light, durable, efficient. Arizona is pretty good about home builts and I would build around their guidelines. Yeah, the VW is a consideration although I am not a big fan due to there being more modern and efficient sources. But it would simplify things. The Formula V has been a part of this gestation. Thanks.

I'm sort of thinking about a car in between these two:

Volkswagon 1 litre, 200 mpg:


Gravity racer:
