I guess he built it from scratch...it's pretty neat, I think. Makes me want to build a go-kart around it!

The guy is pretty handy, that's for sure. Now he's gotta build a mini load-dyno so we can hear full load @12k rpm's! Check out his links...there's a guy who sells castings to 'build' your own. Some other neat v-8's, but the I-4 he's got in the video section sounds wicked!

here it is, click on videos, then it's the 5th video down the list

Didn't notice much in the cooling department, so maybe he was scared of overheating it.
