  Here's an idea for you Bruce. Take the engine from a Jensen 70 or similar, make it horizontal
  and low. Replace the spoked flywheel with a small thick marine style wheel. That'll keep the
  height and length down. Should run with that mass spinning.
  

  I like this more all the time Tommy , I have all the parts 🙃👍

  Yes you do Bruce. You have the parts, the tools and know how. With your lathe and a hunk
  of brass bar stock, you can make the flywheel to fit and look anyway you like.
  With the way you like to improve upon things, I can see it now. Real bearings, everything
  polished up, painted and shiny. Just do it!
