John, I had the same question on this list a few months ago with no takers. The nice thing about the Type 453 Rotax is that it has been used by snowmobile racers for years and is a very popular class. Gee, maybe if some of those snowmobile racers knew they could simply plug in their engines to one of our cars we might see the class grow. What a novel idea. Anyway, lots of aftermarket parts and used engines out there for the Rotax Type 453. Here's the Rotax website for the engine: http://tinyurl.com/ykrqak

Is there some reason that the model 453 with 440cc and 92 hp wouldn't be a suitable alternative. The hp # seem OK to an uninformed soul like myself and if BRP is OK with making them today presumably they would be for some time to come so, it would seem a reasonable choice.
