look for an STC to upgrade to 180-200HP CSpeed.

There is an old ARMY T-41B (C-172XP) that has a 210HP, (no time limit), high
lift leading edge cuffs and stall fences (STOL performance), long range
tanks with a pony tank in the aft baggage area. It took a beefier nose strut
to support the engine, and larger main wheel tires to match the height of
the nose gear...

Looks and flies GREAT !!!

The civil C-172XPs that came out in the late 80s (??) were 195HP and limited
to max power for 5 minutes (initial climb out)
