How about a motorcycle engine? Lots in scrap yards for not too much money - or just buy a cosmetically neglected complete bike. A friend built a JZR 3-wheeler kit car powered by a 500 cc, water-cooled Honda CX V-twin engine with integral 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive. The car weighed about 500 kg with the engine giving a modest 50 b.h.p or so. The performance? With around 100 b.h.p. per ton, pretty decent. He was tempted to fit the CCX560 turbo with 100 b.h.p. but thought that might be overkill - in more ways than one.
I had a CX500EC model. A great bike; rather top-heavy but beautifully finished; smooth; economical; fast enough for most occasions and dead reliable.
