Well, as it happens I was at the Geelong Vintage Engine day here in Victoria Australia and, Lo and Behold, Pipe Engine came to mind! There was a chap there with his working model Henry Ford's Kitchen Sink engine 1893. Hopefully this link will take you to a you-tube video. The chap told me that in his model the flywheel and crank were about the only bits not pipe / Kitchen Sink based Oh and of course the spark plug. He was running his on various fuels; Petrol, Fly-spray, Surface-spray, and the second day on LPG as the wind was blowing petrol fumes every which way. He had his LPG torch nozzle poked down the carburettor / air intake.
Or this link has a great description with pictures.
