My '01 Goldwing is a 1.8 liter 6 cylinder boxer. About 105 horses and 109
ft-lbs of torque. The thing feels like it can pull stumps. N/A in a vanagon,
but 0-60 in about 4 seconds.

GoldWings use 1.2-liter boxer fours & 1.6-liter boxer sixes. Power
would probably be adequate, but torque? I very much doubt it.

Hmmm... how about 3 VTR1000 engines welded together?
