have some good running motorcycle engines too that would make excellent low weight strong engines for aviation.
As soon as they are stripped their built-in trans weight of course.
Has anyone ever looked at making them a fix ration and remove the rest of the gears?

It has been done, but the whole sled engine thing just works out better.

There are some euro companies doing some conversions..
