The only comment I have is that I would think that the overall package equivalent in weight if one were to use an inverted direct drive aluminum big-block Chevy of maybe 500 to 550 cu. in. and mount the prop directly to the crank. And it would be much, much simpler and therefore potentially more reliable at the 400 to 450 hp level.
