Has anyone done it? If so how practical was it?

What’s the HP output of an O-540? 235? You can do that with a 390 at 2/3 the weight, and that’ll be hard enough to balance on a standard length Cub.
Have you considered the Continental IO-360K? It is rated at 195 hp in the Hawk XP but is allowed up to 210 hp with the proper prop.Thanks for the links! I like the idea of a 6 cylinders since they tend to run smoother. Some of the O540’s produce 260 HP. I would only consider a fixed pitch prop for weight.
