Has anyone explored the use of Lycoming's IO-580 engine for the -10? It appears based on Lycoming's specs it is the same width and length as the 540-K and less than an inch taller while providing 315HP at 2700RPM with a compression ration still below 9.0:1.
It seems like a good alternative to the 540 for those looking for a bit more power. Thoughts?
