I am designing two airplanes right now. Both are twins, one is an amphibious. For the reg twin, I need 100+hp per engine and light weight. For the amphibious I need 150+hp per engine. I have been looking at Subaru engines for the light twin, but I am not even sure what to use for the amphib. The problem I am running into is that I need specs on different auto engines, and cannot seem to find them. I look at TCM and other A/C certified engines and I want to puke when I see the price tags. I guess this is really sad since I work for a company that builds A/C engines.

Does anyone know where I can find the following info per engine wihtout any mods, just a plane jane engine:
Make and Model
Dimensions
Weight in pounds
HP output @ rpm
Fuel consumption
etc.
