I understand there is an STC available to convert the 235 HP O-540
Lycoming to 260 HP. Does anyone have experience with this? Where can
the paperwork be found? What is known about the approved redline
operating RPM that goes with this? Any experience with operating
lifetime/reliability after such a conversion? Any measured data on
percentage increase in climb rate before versus after this degree of
power increase in some specific aircraft? Any other helpful decision
data points/opinions?
Thanks,
Jim McCulley

Greg Iles has done it by 337, for his Cherokee 235. It converts to 8.5
compression and uses a Comanche 260 exhaust.
