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.
