Hello Christian,

   

  I dont know if Mr. Jaime Alexander is located near you,  Canada is big.  But he has lots of experience with auto conversions.  Visit his page and I think he can gladly advise you.

Christian,

Virtually every engine is suitable for aviation if the application is 

correct.  The 140 hp on 1.8 Liter suggests

it works pretty hard doing high speed road work in a car.  The 

difficulty would be putting an ideal gear reduction

on it to obtain a best combination of  torque and rpm for a practical 

prop.  This might restrict the engine to a lighter and or

slower aircraft than you desired.  If it did fit an aircraft you were 

interested in, then you'd only have to find a way to

put an exhaust, carburetor, ignition and cooling system in place that 

will continue to balance output while cooling, feeding and

controlling the decibel level for the engine.  The question also gets 

into the kind of bearings and crank that will

be exchanging harmonics that may differ from those dampened by a 

transmission that were best for a car, but could be

thoroughly destructive with a prop attached.  There's only one way to 

find out and that's to have at it and work it out.

I'm not an engine guy, but this is where you're at.

Good luck,
