You could look at outboard motors as a starting point. In the past I
read of someone using a Mercury to get 100 hp in an aircraft.


That seems unlikely, to be honest. I've never met an outboard that
wasn't cooled by pumped water.



I had a really nice 5 HP Briggs and Stratton outboard on my previous
sailboat. It was air cooled. But it was the exception that proved
the rule...
