Pssst.... when in doubt... use old tech.
Anyone has the specifications for the 1.3L / 1.5L / 1.6L engines for the old VW Beetle? It's pretty compact and aircooled meaning it would save weight because there is no water based cooling system.
Ironically, these engines are easier to find replacement parts for than some of the newer vintage cars we have in the city.

Personally I would recommend an ultralight aircraft engine which is made from aluminum and aircooled. Downside I don't know where you can buy one and the last one I had access to was used in the Micro-Car 1 project back in college, about 15 years ago.
