Automotive engine in Cessna 152

[LocoDriver]

Does anyone here or in Oz operate a Cessna 152
with an automotive conversion???

Subaru/Honda Civic conversions have been done, I am keen
to see/discuss the merits with an operator/owner.

I have a really nice little 152 that will be due for a new donkey soon(3000plus hrs on the existing).
A good fuel saving/lower installation cost than a Lycoming
can be had.
Aircraft is for training and private hire use only, not ATO's.

Comments anyone???

Thanks

After owning a subaru, i most certainly would not put an engine from one in an aircraft.
