Marcio, Do you live in a different Brazil? I am only familiar with the country in South America where VW Type 1 and Type 4 engines are still very easy to buy. Once you have your engine, there are still other things to know about making it reliable for an airplane.
The VW Type 1 engine is the most popular engine for the KR-2. A VW Type 4 engine is also very good, but here in the US they’re very expensive. GM Corvair engines are also popular. The KR-2 is a wooden airplane covered with foam and fiberglass. It was designed to be built with spruce wood from the US or Canada, but airplanes are built with many kinds of wood. You can find wood in Brazil that is suitable for aircraft, but you will need to do research and choose your wood carefully, just as one would do in the US. You have everything you need except for plans. You can still find KR-2 and KR-2S plans for sale on this forum and on homebuiltairplanes.com. Good luck!
