Unlike the -A3B6D, the -C1C has NO torsional-vibration-absorbing pendulous
counterweights on the crankshaft, hence the critical excitation range (to be
avoided) on the tach. BUT, be aware that the 68" prop will have a
significantly lower mass moment of inertia than the 74" prop of which you
speak, which has the effect of reducing the torsional resonant frequency of
the engine-prop system (hence the tach range to be avoided). Also, without
those "counterweights", the fatigue excitation applied to the prop blades is
greater, and the blade resonant frequencies are lower than the 74" prop. Lots
of guessing involved if you're not using a certified engine-prop COMBINATION.
