Bob It should work well. My first KR was built with a stock 1800cc VW and I wager that the actual horsepower of that really was in the 45HP range. Some of the early Volksplanes were operating on 35-45 HP. The Hirth is likely 40 lbs lighter (guess). You could/should move the engine out further from the firewall. I do not know what the weight of a "standard" KR2S is averaging. KEEP IT LIGHT! EXPERIMENT!! pAT
