Bradley GT?  Man, that's some ancient shit!  Probably not produced since
the mid-'70s.  I remember them from high school..

Dropping a waterpumper in there would indeed be a HUGE project.  Why not
just go for a nice built aircooled motor?  They're DIRT cheap and can
make GOBS of power.  Grab one of the aircooled rags at the supermarket and
scope out the ads - TONS of options for motors....
