Go to the main page http://www.greatplainsas.com and just above the picture
of a KR1 there's "Download 2006 Catalog Here".

Look page 7 (Reduction Drive & Rear Drive Engine Specifications) and you
will find following information:

Type 1 - Liquid Reduction 2180

Take off HP, RPM MAX 120 @ 4400
Continuous HP, RPM 84 @ 3200
Weight in Pounds 200


Oh, Horse Feathers...

If it's a VW core with liquid cooled heads - it AIN'T no type 1 VW.
It is quite something else...
More like a drag motor - fitted out with a prop reducer.

At 120 HP, I'll lay odds it will not last long either.
The VW head studs won't take that for long without pulling out of the case.

And - just for the record - my electric start 2180 Air Cooled type 1
engine weighed 208 pounds.

So, before was all get real excited....
