I'm flying behind an 80 HP Aerovee, so basically a VW bug motor. But it is bored and stroked out to 2180CC and has a bunch of specialized parts to aviationize-it, like an accessory plate and a prop shaft. Sure it could be done but I think a scrap beetle motor would be pretty low on power for its weight.
