Sounds like Pietzl (sp?) who took over the Franklin line. There was,
in the distant past, a 125HP Franklin in addition to the more famous
150- and 165-HP engines used in the Stinson Voyager.
If that's the case, the company has had its fits and starts.
Lycoming makes a 125HP version of the O-235. It is certainly not
plug-compatible with the mounts, cowling, or anything else,
but it is doable. There are a few Aeroncas and such with the
conversion. Of course, you're going up to 6 or more GPH.
The question of course is, 'why would you want more than an
O-200 when it's such a good balance with it?'
