Can any one see any problems with this combonation? Would I be better off reducing the prop by 2 inches? Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers.

I know of one RV-6 that had a 74 inch prop. The builder sold it after flying around 200 hours with no problems. The new owner was doing transition training (with an RV pilot / CFI) in it and hit the prop on a wheel landing during the first two hours.
