When you install the O-200 crank STC on a C-85 you still end up with a C-85. Same prop and limits apply. One way to "cheat" a little is to repitch the prop to get the static RPM, which will increase, back to where it was before the conversion. This will give you similar climb performance, but better cruise. A "real" O-200 will sit about 1/2 inch farther forward, if you use the same mount as the C85. This will probably cause problems with the cowl and baffles. I should check before saying this, but I'm pretty sure the O-200 has a pump cam on the cam shaft, or at least some do. Late cases have through bolts on the center main in place of the studs from the early cases. This is very desirable, and places like Divco can modify earlier cases to the new spec.
