Chevy V8 are being used in Pawnee glider tugs in Australia with some success. Liquid cooling is ideal for that duty with 60-75kt climbs in hot weather then back down fast for the next glider. It would be replacing a six cylinder Lycoming so weight may not be a great problem in that application. And glider tug duty would usually keep them close to the airstrip in case of engine failure.
