<VV> Motorcycle engine - limited but possibly interesting Corvair content

[moonpie8n at comcast.net]

   Blitz  Racing [my  brother's  operation]  has  been  building  1/2  Chevies  since  1985.  They  are  real,"Stump  Pullers".  IT  had  a  tendency  to  rip  the  hydro  to  pieces.  306hp  out  of  155 cu.  in.  [on  alcohol ] .  love  to  try  it  in  my  Corsa.  here  are  a  few  pics.........

If you haven't seen it, search for link to Motus MTS-01 or MTS-R American made motorcycle.  With help from Pratt & Miller and Katech, they have engineered a direct injected V4 that is essentially a scaled down version of the Chevy LS family of V8's.  A cute little thing, It is only 18 inches wide and weighs 130 lbs. while putting out 160 horsepower.  Don't know torque level, but it is still an interesting looking engine.  It would be substantially less weight than the Corvair flat 6, with more HP, just don't know if there would be enough torque.  Bet there would be some interesting uses.  How about in a dune buggy or sport ATV/side-by-side.
