Yessiree,



I have been running an IO-360 angle valved Lycoming built up by Lycon of

Visalia, CA, and it runs REAL good.  It is a little harder to crank,

especially with an MT prop, since there is very little fly-wheel effect

with the light prop, so you should consider the heavy duty hy-torque

starter by Sky-Tec.  That sucker will really crank if you run heavy wire

from the battery to the starter, or better yet, run a 28 volt system

[highly recommended in any case].



With the extra 20 hp [about 60 more than a stock O-320] you will climb

like a homesick angel.
