You are correct.. that engine was made completely from scratch by a retired machinist. He made each part in his own machine shop. The skill level to make that engine is simply awesome. There are mini engine kits out there.. but not for this particular engine.

Looks like a fun project , for an old guy , now a mini turbocharged 4 cylinder is more like it

Maybe these are noob questions, but I don't know much about engine internals...

would an engine like that even be functional in any type of vehicle... say go kart?

what kind of HP would it produce?

This reminded me of another custom built scale engine i've seen. The youtube video was removed... dunno why. Maybe because it was a bit from a tv show... but here's what I did find:
