	After reviewing the options, the decision was made to use an air-cooled Volkswagen engine. The model chosen is the 1600 cc, as it is the most common vw engine and it delivers between 50 - 60 horsepower. It is larger and heavier than before, so the Power Cube must be re-designed with new pump, plumbing and reservoirs - as well as component placement and engine mounts:		After reviewing the options, the decision was made to use an air-cooled Volkswagen engine.
