Take a regular VW diesel, machine intake ports somewhat midway into the bore and braze an insert in to seal off the water jacket (hard part is figuring the correct porting. Add a supercharger and a manifold and you have the intake. Rework a cam so that intake and exhaust valves are both running on "identical" exhuats lobes so it has twice the exhaust valve area.
