There was a company that used Suzuki engines as a conversion kit in years past and their web site is still active but I think the company is no longer operating.

In a previous life I managed a regional airport which is how I knew about this.

I saw a Subaru engine in a Cessna 150 at Oshkosh in '96. I commend the shops that adapt car engines for aviation. Anything to bypass the entrenched Lycoming/Continental monopoly of mediocre. I was always amazed at the Marvel carburetor company were featured in aircraft and tractors! The same cast iron toilet for both! The only difference was the mixture control for aviation.

I understand that at one time the air cooled VW beetle engines were used with home built planes, but never seen one...
