New 1/2 VW Conversion with Harley Davidson Parts

[Cy V]

This engine was briefly discussed in another thread, but I thought it deserved a thread of its own.

A company called Lone Star Light Sport just revealed at Oshkosh a new 1/2 VW that uses Harley Davidson parts. They claim 60hp. The company's website is still being developed, but they have an active Facebook group. They wrote this in the group:

Compression will be set up at 8.5 : 1 for test runs. We will be monitoring the temps closely. CHT and EGT are expected to be lower than a 7.5 : 1 half vw thanks to 100% more cooling fin surface area!. This setup will allow for compression in the 9.5 : 1 range in the future. Hoping to achieve 60 hp at 9.5:1With the bore to stroke ratio of this engine I expect torque numbers to exceed the hp numbers in the 32-3400 RPM band.
