Ah, thought I was on JetBlast...
Wouldn't put one in an aircraft, best bang for the buck is to buy a mid time used Lycoming. Car engines produce all the power at the wrong rpms (way high) so you need a massive piece of kit to reduce the rpm to what a propellor works best at (way low).
Car engines are not designed to produce power at 5000rpm for very long. I wouldn't go anywhere in a plane behind a subaru engine unless I knew I could glide to an airport. In a car, they are superb, probably because they are horizontally opposed so can keep cool.
