You heard that right, a Supercharged V8 with a CVT powering a civilian aircraft. This won't be any regular Supercharged CVT V8 though, this is one straight out of one of our professional racing vehicles. it features a reinforced iron block and head, quad over head cams, and 10,000RPM of screaming glory. of course, this engine would have 630BHP like the one straight out of the car; but we had to downgrade this engine a bit, i mean it is going into a civil plane. the 10,000RPM rev range still stays, but the power drops significantly; down to 475BHP. if a small size civil plane got over 500BHP, it might not be controllable at high speeds.
Speaking of high speeds: i want this thing to max out at 160mph, and have a cruising speed (60% throttle gear up) of 105mph. i'm gonna try and be near that. But i will need someone to build me a body, specifically something like a Cessna. one of the average common Cessna Planes.

i'm thinking of making the CVT kick in at about 6,000RPM, which will make the propellers start spinning much faster.
