There does exist a way to very easily make the change WITHOUT modifying the freeze plugs in the crankshaft, or removing the stainless line that goes back to the governor pad. It DOES require the removal of the governor, and a specially machined governor pad cover.
My IO-360 was delivered from Matituck Aviation with this setup so I could run a fixed pitch prop. Mahlon (whom monitors this site) can tell you more about how to get this special governor pad cover.
