Has anyone considerd using truck/lorry diesels as replica engines. E.g. 5.9 litre Cummins 6-cyl inline would probably be very good for that purpose. Plenty of torque at lowish rpm.

Those engines sound really heavy, though. I think that would be a disadvantage, depending on the type of plane you're building.

How much do they weigh? The Mercedes D.III came in at over 700 pounds.
