Assuming it's time for overhaul . . . With a 1967 H-model Skyhawk, does anyone on this NG know what the most powerful replacement/upgrade can be added to this airframe? I have the 145 HP Cont O-300 . . . would LOVE to get to 180 HP . . . can it be done? Someone else said, "Why would you want to go from a smooth running, fuel sipping six cylinder to a vibrating, fuel gulping four cylinder?" I agree, especially when you can go to a smooth running, fuel sipping six cylinder that has 220 hp. The Franklin 220 is STCed for your 172, I believe. Check out http://franklinengines.com/cessna.cfm Don't know the cost. I have one friend who installed a Franklin 220 in his 170A. I think it set him back about $25,000 total. -- David Hill david at hillREMOVETHISfamily.org Sautee-Nacoochee, GA, USA
