Stephan It sounds like you ran across one of the gpu's that have been getting popular with the ultralight community. There are two that I can think of right now the 4A032 & 4A084. The last two digits of the model # indicate the displacement in cubic inches. The 32 puts out about 15-20hp and weighs about 70#, with all the unnecessary stuff removed and prop added. The 84 puts out 40-45hp and weighs in at about 125-140# ready to fly. There are several of the 84's flying in planes like the Mini-Max, Hipps Reliant, and other designs. You can find out allot more by joining the surplusengines group on yahoo.
