It was using a Rotax engine...looks like they might have developed their own engine now.
They were supposed to be building a civilian version for public sale, but their entire production runs are destined for the military for the forseeable future.
Looking at the new website, they have completely removed their mention of civilian sales.

The engine used on the monter diesel OCC Chopper was a daihatsu 3 cylinder turbo 34 horse diesel marketed by briggs and stratton. We use the same engine at work in the HydroTraxx atvs.

i was gonna say it seems similar to the john deere we have at work... there is also a few generators that power light towers that use this little ingenious motor to power 4 1000W lights for night work. They start with no problem... even in the cold.

only problem that is when you goto accelerate you going to spontaneously flip sideways...like the viper had to have a 4 wheel motorcycle...i think all the torque from the cummins would call for a t-rex body if anything at all. Then with that your still only spinning 1 wheel back there...
