Kept the plane LSA.. did not do the gross weigth increase when we installed the engine, but is doable.

Is it still certified or now Experimental with that engine?
I don't think that engine would be legal, Am I wrong?

Perhaps the OP has one of these STC's that allow the C-85 installation and then convert the C-85 to 200ci displacement:

Pretty common STC'd procedure for an 85. I guess they pull really nice. Basically makes a "stroker" 85. Hope I have the $$ to do it to mine when it goes back together.

It does make a difference. Mine pulled the same Sen M76AK-2-40 115 rpm higher static than the fresh C-90-8 I had in an earlier plane. Use this Cont SB if desired to install a C-90 cam and lifter bodies. See the bottom of the SB for the 1960 Revision.
